[QUOTE]Originally posted by RRCHINA: [QB] The trackage lines on a map seem to make several Amtrak scenarios viable. And memories of former passenger trains- 1945 1950 - appear to be doable once more; but much has changed. The Denver to Alb. proposal finds good track conditions for freight but would need modification for passenger service. The density and length of freight trains between Pueblo and Denver also is a factor substantially different than 1950. The running time would not come close to being competitive with I-25. And that factor increases from Alb. to El Paso because the track south of Belen is DARK territory with track conditions for freight only, 49 MPH max. It would take too many $$$ to implement these ideas and I suspect the politicos know it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
