[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] As both the McClatchey wire service and the Kansas City Star staff reported articles note, the BNSF 'Transcon' line is getting filled up with traffic. I highly doubt that Warren Buffett had that line essentially double tracked was with the intent of handling passenger trains. As such, an informed source, a BNSF management employee has reported at another site that the Transcon welcome mat could well not be there without substantial Amtrak funded track improvements. Do nothing about the existing route, and it will be on its way to FRA Class 2; 40mph any class of service - possibly even an outright embargo. As such, 3-4, the Chief, could be the most jeopardized LD train out there. This time, Chico will really call it quits. Simply because the Chief is scalped (haven't those who have followed 'Hell on Wheels' seen enough of them?) does not obligate the UP to either restore the Desert Wind or allow Daily Texas Eagle frequency. In short, there is a real possibility that CHI-LAX service will be three nights out over an 'uh, rather gerrymandered route'. I guess such is going the way of 'The Canadian' so far as a means of useful transportation. [/QB][/QUOTE]
