[QUOTE]Originally posted by gp35: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [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]A stop from 79 mph and accelerating back to 79 mph takes station dwell time plus three minutes plus or minus a few seconds, so each stops adds 5 to 8 minutes to the non-stop time. You will be making a few stops on the norhtern route as well. The pre-Amtrak passenger schedules of the MoPac and SP were not that much different, either. Don't forget 20 mph over the Mississippi River Bridge at Baton Rouge and the sharp curve on the east end. I think the time saving is mostly imaginary. George [/QB][/QUOTE]What few stops on the north route? Clear high balling between Baton Rouge and Dequincy [/QB][/QUOTE]
