[QUOTE]Originally posted by MOKSRail: [QB] [QUOTE]Mr. Norman, I completely agree with you regarding corridors. I firmly believe that the ftuure of Amtrak is with corridors, and that long distance trains are dead. It's just a question of when we'll have the funeral. I remember years ago--I must have been in high school--when Southern Pacific wanted to abandon the passenger service that is now Caltrain. We're fortunate that they didn't. Caltrain is just the kind of corridor that we need. I'm amazed at the growth of the Amtrak-California trains, particularly the Capitol Corridor. I've heard that there is an active group that is trying to get trains running in the corridor between El Paso and Denver. There's certainly passenger demand on that route--three bus lines run back and forth almost full. [/QUOTE]Gee, if SP and the powers that be took the attitude some on this "rail" forum took, we wouldn't have that Caltrain corridor now, would we? Denver to El Paso? That's some 695-mile "corridor." It's more like Chicago-Dallas. The route is more like a medium LD route, which certainly has potential as do all other medium- and long LD routes. LD trains contrary to the limited view are hardly "dead." [/QB][/QUOTE]
