[QUOTE]Originally posted by sfthunderchief: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [qb] Learned at another site that this study is out: http://www.ksdot.org/PDF_Files/FINAL-Amtrak-Study.pdf [/qb][/QUOTE]KDOT Secretary Miller gave me 5 hard copies of the study today at the press conference. She asked to meet afterwards with the leadership of the Alliance. We discussed next steps for an hour and then went to lunch. Legislators present told Amtrak, BNSF, and KDOT that they intend to move forward with this effort, and want the Department of Transportation to not delay any of these next steps. Regarding the capital costs. The Amtrak planning official present stated that all developments across the country are coming in with these extraordinarily high figures. The intent is 100% On-Time-Performance. In order to avoid the fines caused by freight rail delays, every proposed route contemplates enough sidings and sidings of sufficient length to make OTP all but guaranteed. Although this statement was not put in quotes, it is in fact a quote from one of the officials at the meeting today. [/QB][/QUOTE]
