[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Concur Mr. Rich; all lines shown are in place. I guess I must give NARP credit for 'drawing the line' at not proposing that MILW Lines West be relaid and used as a passenger only line through Montana. Likewise, they have not proposed service to Lander, WY - once the furthest point West on the C&NW. But, since no Class I road is about to seek a contract to operate a passenger train, the entire proposal borders upon a 'taking', or a public condemnation. To expect that any organization can dictate to the investor owned Class I industry that passenger trains WILL be operated over their lines - and of course be given priority of movement over freight is simply absurd. If any group advocates the issue of expanded and more reliable passenger service over Class I lines, the matter of seeking repeal of Amtrak's, or any successor passenger agency, "right of access' will become a much more front burner issue than at present. At this time, I believe the industry accepts the existing level of passenger train interference as a "nuisance' they are prepared to live with. As an aside, I believe I once saw that map posted st another discussion site showing restored service Miami-Key West. Apparently that was a ' things they can do with computers nowadays" moment.
