[QUOTE]Originally posted by gp35: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [qb] I think I did these numbers once before, but here goes. Southern Pacific (amtrak route) 0 New Orleans 145 Lafayette 219 Lake Charles 279 Beaumont 363 Houston Kansas City Southern / Missouri Pacific 0 New Orleans 79 Baton Rouge 267 Beaumont 356 Houston if SP between Beaumont and Houston: 267 Beaumont 351 Houston Going by way of Lake Charles: Kansas City Southern / Missouri Pacific 0 New Orleans 79 Baton Rouge 184 Kinder 218 Lake Charles 278 Beaumont 362 Houston If you take the KCS and then the all ex-MoPac route west of Baton Rouge it is only 7 miles shorter than the SP and if you go MoPac to Iowa Jct. then Lake Charles it is with one mile of the all ex-SP route. The time saving may not be that great, either. George [/qb][/QUOTE]The distant is about the same, but you need to calculate the 4 stops on the southern route, the traffic, the slow limit areas, the slow curves, and the slow bridges. The northern route would require 1 slow down in DeQuincy, the remaining route is high speed. [/QB][/QUOTE]
