[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by RRCHINA: [qb] There has been an alternative put forth to route the loaded coal trains via a railroad to be constructed upon the grassy plains about 90+- miles east of the current line. This would connect with Las Animas Jct.(85 Miles east from Pueblo) where the loaded trains now turn south toward Amarillo. This would cost big $$$ but would aleviate the congestion created by the urban developement between Colorado Springs and Denver that does not mix well with long, 125 car, coal trains. [/qb][/QUOTE]This thought has been kicked around for quite a few years. Even if this wonderful hallucination were to occur, it would still not straighten out the multitudinous curves in the current route. The reliability of the passenger trains would probably increase, but the speed, not much. [/QB][/QUOTE]
