[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] There will be one less NYP-CHI Sleeper line. I still must ask who was the politico that leaned on Amtrak to make this service enhancement. Be assured there are people at 60 Mass who think the way I do: 'It's just going to cost money'. Regarding Ms. Sojourner's point, I would not consider there is any correlation between this apparently "done deal" Lake Shore enhancement and a Sunset East restoration. The New England "Congressional caucus" has long supported Amtrak - and have wanted their "spoils' for doing so. I believe that not for New England support, Acela would be an NY-Wash operation and the electricficatio extension simply "wouldn't be'. Service East of New Haven would have been relegated to little more than that of the Springfield Shuttle. But the Sunset East has no political patron saint and obviously no support at 60 Mass. Therefore, the "fight" is in the hearts and minds of advocacy groups, some of which appear to be quite "ad hoc" in scope. [/QB][/QUOTE]
