[QUOTE]Originally posted by delvyrails: [QB] I think it's a mistake to run a coach-only train of whatever frequency on the San Antonio-New Orleand route. That would turn off the sleeping car clientele who might just be persuaded to make a cross-platform daytime transfer at SAS. With arrival time at NOL in late evening and departure at breakfast time, consider this idea: through route the Sunset with a completely retimed City of New Orleans. Yes, through cars Chicago-New Orleans-San Antonio. That would make CONO an overnight train NOL-Memphis and day train north of there. All-rail Houston-Chicago travel would be restored, plus some other new pairings. The cheapest thing to do is NOT to change the name Sunset Limited. The tear-jerking media would have a field day proclaiming that the "Sunset is no more". It would take years before all of the public recognized that in fact it was only the name that had been retired. [/QB][/QUOTE]
