[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] TRAINS [URL=http://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2018/05/08-amtrak-letter-explains-position-on-southwest-chief] Newswire[/URL] reports that Amtrak has declined to provide its $3M share of a $16M TIGER grant to upgrade the Albuquerque-LA Junta route of the Southwest Chief. This grant makes no provision for PTC, and Amtrak has taken the position they will not operate any train over routes not so equipped. Absent intervention, it would appear that The Chief will 1) be rerouted via Amarillo, or 2) the Adios drumhead will be hanging "guess where". Prompted by this development, former CEO Boardman is, reportedly also by [URL=http://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2018/05/08-former-amtrak-president-questions-motives-of-current-management] Newswire[/URL], "less than happy" with the course his successor is taking with at least one LD route.
