[QUOTE]Originally posted by PullmanCo: [QB] If you diagram traffic from KS to Dallas, the major nodes are KC, Wichita, Topeka and OKC. They are the only standard statistical areas on the route. Everything else is rural. For this to work, it has to have frequency density to make it worth my while vice absolute independence of auto or speed of air. Right now SWA runs 10 frequencies per day KCI-LUV and 4 frequencies KCI-OKC. I've also driven Dallas to Kansas City, and OKC to KC. Any train will have to "keep up the skeer" and maintain an average rate of advance greater than 60MPH. According to mapquest, I can get from KC-DAL in 8 hours 20 minutes by car. Anyone who thinks about this and does not resource both frequency and velocity dooms it to failure. Of course, getting it through the Kansas Legislature by itself will be an exciting act! And since you hopefully listen to KPR, you know as well as I do that the Kansas Senate pissed away a whole day yesterday debating the illegal immigrant bill before finalizing it as it pretty much came out of committee. Bank on the Kansas Legislature to do something right and timely? Go see Mark Funkhouser for some Frances Semmler meds... [/QB][/QUOTE]
