[QUOTE]Originally posted by gp35: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [qb] As I said before, The pre-Amtrak running times via Baton Rouge and via Lafayette were very little different. this is true even considering using KCS between Baton Rouge and New Orleans,which was about 15 minutes faster than the ICRR track tha PoPac used. Sorry, but major time savings by the northern route are imaginary. George [/qb][/QUOTE]Different era different condition of tracks. You can't use 35 year old data for today. When going to the Kinder Casino, I observe the trains running parallel to highway 190. We matched speeds to a freight train doing 67 mph. I dont know the condition of the tracks 35 years ago, but today they are very good. If 2 freight trains raced from the Rose City split to New Orleans, following all speed restrictions, clear track, the northern train would win by a 2-3 maybe 4 hours. QUESTION; at Orange, does your maps show how an east bound train will turn back northwest before turning east again? [/QB][/QUOTE]
