[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] This document, circulated by an informed "deep throat" source, suggests Amtrak "has the Chief in the X-hair: [URL=https://www.dropbox.com/s/397rbtfluu9uifp/Dismantling-National-System-Trains-3-4.pdf]Anderson Presentation[/URL] It certainly appears that Amtrak management is bound and determined to show they can whack a Long Distance route. With a good portion of the route, and possibly over the steepest ruling grade on any Amtrak route, used solely by the Chief and yet is included within the PTC mandate, puts it in jeopardy. Within the document, is a proposed Dodge City-Albuquerque "busteetoot". While overall CHI-LAX trip time can be maintained, access to the Scouts Philmont Ranch will sure take a hit. And at least "back in my day", being active in Scouting was a ticket aspiring railroad managers had to get punched. Needless to say, the local advocacy groups are vowing to "fight on the beaches, fight in the sand". [/QB][/QUOTE]
