[QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [QB] George Harris I do hope there is a third train Charlotte to Raleigh, although I wonder if a daylight train Charlotte-Greensboro-Lynchburg-Charlottesville-DC wouldn't be a better investment. Viginia is actively involved in rail passenger funding too. As for poor old SC, rail passenger is the last thing on politicians agenda. I had a summer job down here in 1966 when the SRR severed the Augusta Special between Charlotte and Fort Mill, SC just a few miles from Charlotte but over the border in SC. This of course avoided the need to go to the ICC and the train quiclky died. I believe in the 80's Amtrak did consider rerouting the star via the SRR to Charlotte and then to Columbia on to Florida. Given CSX on time performance, that may have been a good idea. Several years ago NC was talking with CSX about resurrecting the abandoned portion of the RMT-Wilmington line. I think that is still under consideration. [/QB][/QUOTE]
