[QUOTE]Originally posted by gp35: [QB] The stub train will flop and be replaced with bus service. The only people who will ride this train is a few rail buffs and families looking for weekend getaways. Weekdays the train will be empty. I-10 is too fast to expect anyone to seriously give up their +70 mph cars for a much slower train. Anyway it is much cheaper for a family of 4 to drive. Here is alternative plan. Continue to run the Sunset tri-weekly with TE through cars. Use 2 of 3 sitting Superlines sets in New Orleans for the TE CHI-SAS-LA. That leaves SAS-LA Daily. Tri-weekly Sunset SAS-LA and 4 times weekly TE. That leaves SAS-NOL tri-weekly. Next you split the Crescent in NOL, Half goes to SAS and the other half waits for another half from SAS for return to NYC. Now SAS-NOL is daily. The final set of Superliner can extend the CONO to Florida. NOL-CHI would be daily, but NOL-Jax will be tri-weekly. [/QB][/QUOTE]
