[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Thanks for the update regarding the Golden State Route, Mr. Resor. I'm pleased to learn that the Union Pacific intends to make use of what seemed a dormant transcontinental route. UP of course can route traffic to their heart's content off the route to St Louis and an NS interchange to the East insomuch as the MP is theirs. They could also route traffic through Thebes to the C&EI for Chicago, but that is circuituous. Their trackage rights over the BNSF KC-Chi is to my best knowledge limited by agreement to trains that can be so routed. But meanwhile back on historic passenger rail, my December 1963 ride (when Illinois ACTUALLY was a football powerhouse and went to the Rose Bowl - not even a Big Ten team is assured of that anymore) was as I noted "bounce to the ounce'. It was even more 'bounce' in view that my Roomette was in a Rock Island 8-6 "Golden--" car in which all Roomettes were over the wheels (there was also a Budd SP 10-6 in consist - the zenith of quality carbuilding; could I have been so lucky???)
