[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by amtraxmaniac: [qb]6. LAX-Las Vegas!!!! Need I justify that one?!?!? [/qb][/QUOTE]Needless to say, Patrick, I heartily agree. A "five a day' service (stops in The Meadows by the airport for the "luxocrowd", Flamingo Road (for the 'middle of the roaders') and Downtown (for "the others') using "plain old trains' (well stocked Cafe with two Attendants assigned; WB "last call' leaving Yermo), and fares "priced @ market', would be an overnight success. Only problem is how would you route it? The UP has clearly let it known that the LA&SL is "not available'; nor are they about to accept any publicly funded track capacity expansion to accommodate passenger trains. Ditto for the BNSF over Cajon Pass; that they are in the process of adding an additional track is "not exactly' being done with passenger trains in mind. Therefore, sponsors of an "Angels Meadows" initiative had best include in their budget some 250 miles of solely passenger railroad ROW - oh and let's throw in a tunnel under the San Gabriel Range. Now how viable is such a proposal? [/QB][/QUOTE]
