[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Gents, even though I enjoy an LD ride 'in moderation' every so often, I know I'm the 'nabob of negativism' as to any need for such beyond garnering Federal support to fund a regional operation in the Northeast. But the facts of life are that if Chico calls it quits, the UP is not going to step up and provide more routes and frequencies unless Amtrak funds specific track improvement projects. The Capital Costs of any such improvements would be quite chargeable in their entirety against whichever LD train is benefited - and that will make that train quite expensive - and easily get in Mica's and/or the Teepees X-hair. It could well be time to accept that the only CHI-LAX service will be 421-422, Eagle/Sunset with its three night out, tri-weekly, frequency, unless one would relish a 5-SAC-704-BFD-5818-LAX itinerary that arrives LA at 220A. I believe it is simply time to accept regarding LD trains 'there is what there is" and that there will be less of such in the future. Any new or restored routes/frequencies are coming with a high price tag of track improvements that, so far as I'm concerned, the Class I industry has every right to expect. [/QB][/QUOTE]
