[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] The only way to really know the load, for the coach part at least, is to walk the train. With sleepers a closed door is a closed door whether or not there is a body or bodies behind it. Regardless of when or if the train comes back, this is a line that begs and screams for both capacity and speed improvements. New Orleans to Flomaton needs partial double tracking, Full would be better, but if it could be done in 10 mile plus sections with less than 10 miles between them, that would help a lot. Figure that the bridges are unlikely to ever get a second track, at least out of CSX's pocket. Flomaton to Tallahassee needs signals so the 59 mph limit can be lifted, plus of course several more long sidings. East of Tallahassee probably some siding extensions, and maybe a couple of new ones would be nice. Aside from reliability improvements, the average speed between Flomatan and Tallahassee could probably increase by about 10 mph even without any increases in curve speeds. It is only a problem of money - - like so many other things. George [/QB][/QUOTE]
