[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] At a subscription railforum, there is a report that the Amtrak Board has now formally sought discontinuance of the "Sunset East". It is interesting to note that Amtrak is now choosing to seek discontinuance of the Sunset East (come on folks, did anyone REALLY expect to see it back?) in accordance with the "180 Day Notice" provisions set forth in ARAA '97 (that incidentially superseeded 90 days pursuant to RPSA '70). The advocacy groups and others, if any, now have opportunity to be heard as the law intends for them to have. I think most here know my position on the LD's in that they should have been gone with the omplementation of "Dereg" and the growth of traffic that Act along with "Globalization" has brought about. But of course we have a working democracy (instead of the "paper democracies" in places such as Iraq and Russia) and I wish such groups luck. Personally, I think they are going to need it. I guess Amtrak was told to "stink or get off the pot' regarding the Sunset East. I thought they were attempting the "Korean War' strategy by prolonging this Katrina excuse indefinitely. Oh and the analogy to that long forgotten war, even though hostilities ceased 54 years ago, North and South Korea still remain in a State of War with one another. Lastly, I had occasion to use Sunset East during both '02 and '04 as part of ORL-1-NOL-58-CHI routings. In both instances "more positives than negatives". [/QB][/QUOTE]
