[QUOTE]Originally posted by yukon11: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: At that point, would it not make sense for the private operator to step in on a contract basis charging whatever the market would bear. Certainly the precedent is there with Iowa Pacific efforts to hitch a few cars on the back of the CONO, much like the ride a private car gets. Would that scenario fly? *************************** Mr. Palmland - I was thinking along the same lines. If Pullman Rail Journeys can hook up to the back of Amtrak, why not a private food service outfit? Maybe the difference is that PRJ is entirely autonomous from Amtrak passengers, which would not be the case with an Applebee or Black Bear Diner car. Hence union problems as cited by Mr. Norman. None-the-less, would there not be a profit potential with over 1300 miles of captive dining patronage, as with the Starlight route? Richard [/QB][/QUOTE]
