[QUOTE]Originally posted by PullmanCo: [QB] Winfield, eh? I guess the conservatives moved out of Winfield when the LCMS Concordia College closed up back in the late 80s. How can someone run a bill in the 09 session when the study isn't ready until Sept 09? That's putting the cart before the horse. At least some people are thinking multi-frequency KC-DFW metroplex. Re-running the SF Ranger is about the only way this really makes sense. If you schedule a train leaving KC at 830AM, and you run some fairly aggressive speed, you can get to the Metroplex by 630. Launch a second daily turn at Noon, it arrives 10ish at night... which isn't beyond the acceptable range for shuttles to Metroplex hotels. That kind of routing also permits daylight service on the line. For Northbound traffic, similar suitable travel conditions appear. Hooking up with 3/4? Hookup with 3 at KC is reasonable. Even if the Ranger is late, there's all that slack time between KC and Lawrence, so a transfer at Lawrence is plan B. Hooking up 4 will be hard no matter how you slice it. Amtrak almost needs a 3d overnight frequency. I guess there'd be a need to do demand study of daily DFW-OKC-Chicago traffic to see if making a good connection is justified. The downside? 4 sets of equipment. RT takes 2 days. Depending on how crew is set, may need a crew change point either at Ponca City, OK or Arkansas City, KS. [/QB][/QUOTE]
