[QUOTE]Originally posted by PullmanCo: [QB] Frankly, the vast majority of units and people coming to Philmont Scout Ranch and Philmont training center either fly to Albuquerque or Denver, and bus in, or drive in. The marginal traffic brought by Scouting, and the cost of keeping the line open, if Amtrak becomes the sole user north of Lamy? Folks, this is a business decision. I like Raton, too, but not if it takes an extra $50M from Amtrak to BNSF to keep the line open. There is always the option of wye-ing 3/4 near Albuquerque, but that to me is less practical than changing direction of run. The argument about the Train Crew getting to the engine crew is a tad spurious; P units don't have nose doors that I've seen. Hold power over in Albuqueque is a simple answer. [/QB][/QUOTE]
