[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] I agree with your immediate thought Mr. DMW. "If ya gotta run 'em", you may as well make 'em adequately attractive, i.e. assigning a Dome car to The Adirondack that otherwise was not needed elsewhere, and can be added or removed from the consist without any additional cost (as is the case with car on the head behind the engine; not the case if the car had to be drilled into the consist), yet on the other hand refraining from acquiring two like cars to offer Daily year round service, so that people will show up to ride. However, if with the case of the Zephyr, Salt Lake City was the largest intermediate point market rather than Denver, I would expect Amtrak to schedule the train to serve SLC at the most attractive hours to generate patronage and if Denver was served at 0Dark30 and the Rockies X'd same, "sorry 'bout that". Finally, to return to the topic's subject, The Cardinal, allow me to reiterate that if the reported increased patronage arising from making such a through train to NEC points is factual, Amtrak was wise to scrap the 'scenic excursion' business model.
