[QUOTE]Originally posted by 4021North: [QB] According to my online check Medford has a population of about 74,000 and Eugene, 138,000. So I would guess it could support modest passenger service (how much road/air traffic is there between Eugene and Medford), and also willing to bet that similar-sized city pairs already do. Moreover I don't think one can say NARP's whole map is a pipe dream based on one or two routes that don't seem feasible. I don't think the Medford-Eugene corridor should be taken to represent the whole country; how about ones like the Sunset or the Desert Wind? Also, let's keep in mind the maps that show the diminishing extents of Amtrak since the 1970s; NARP's new map was supposed to be a specific follow-on to those. Why is alarm being raised over a couple of new routes that have "never seen passenger service," as if proposing even one new route is unthinkable? What really concerns me is the dramatic picture of decline that those maps portray. I'm glad to see NARP's response. [QUOTE] [b]The most important thing about the map, though, is that if you don't shoot for the moon, you're not even going to make it into orbit.[/b] [/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
