[QUOTE]Originally posted by notelvis: [QB] While it flies in the face of existing practice and presumably union agreements (Mr. Norman, enlightenment here?), why not operate Auto-Train service over the routes of trains 3/4 & 5/6 BUT also offer service to the intermediate cities with the same train? Your Zephyr or Chief could depart Chicago Union Station with a locomotive, baggage car, pair of sleepers, lounge car, and two or three coaches. Then..... at some outlying suburban 'gathering point' pause to add another locomotive or two to the the front and then 10-12 additional passenger cars followed by 10-12 automobile carriers to the rear. Service the intermediate stations spotting your 6-8 car passenger train at the existing stations for a few minutes..... detach your Auto-Train segment of the consist (and perhaps replace with new Auto-Train segments) is suburban Denver and Albuquerque..... I mean why not? [/QB][/QUOTE]
