[QUOTE]Originally posted by sojourner: [QB] I think the idea of moving the trains inland was a passing one and that is gone now. Now the CSX tracks are rebuilt where they were, a done deal, so what Ocala Mike says makes sense--if the rr tracks are already there, why not have trains bringing in business from populous FL and TX? But for this to work, I think you need a DAILY train, not that 3x a week deal. I think there ought to be a daily train Orlando or JAX to San Antonio. Westbound it can continue on to Los Angeles 3x a week, on days the Texas Eagle doesn't (and then we wouldn't need all the delinking, I don't think). Another Republican who is not a Bushie is Mississippi's Trent Lott, who is also one of the Republican Senate supporters for Amtrak. I think all of us train fans who will use the SL ought to start phoning or writing his Senate office to say we want the train, or a train from Orlando or at least Jacksonville to New Orleans or (better) San Antonio (that stops in Houston), and tell him if it were DAILY train we'd all stop in Biloxi overnight! Also we can write letters to local MI and AL papers, and casinos too if someone can supply addresses. I don't understand why the gambling interests wouldn't want people coming in by train. Heck, taking a train to gamble is a time-honored tradition. Sittin in the parlor car, smoking a big seegar, playin poker on the way to play more poker . . . well, not me, but you know what I mean. . . . I also think there ought to be a train from Orlando or JAX to Chicago thru Atlanta and Nashville, as I've said before. [/QB][/QUOTE]
