[QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [QB] I still can’t figure out why Anderson is going for the SWC that has some political support rather than the tri weekly Sunset, arguably the worst Amtrak train from a financial standpoint. The politicians don’t really care about the Sunset, after fall, there isn’t much between El Paso and Tucson. Regardless, it is interesting to note that a carrot mentioned is Amtrak’s interest in working with the affected states for a Newton, KS to Ft. Worth train and a Front range train from Cheyenne to Pueblo. Also interesting is that the bustitiution could be Albuquerque to LaJuna rather than Dodge City. That would entail almost 200 miles of non PTC line (Dodge City to Las Animas Jct - just west of LaJunta). Guess Anderson figures that might be viable since BNSF still has some freight on that line. Of course as a railfan, my thought was if you go to LaJunta and are interested in the Front Range service, might as well run KC to Denver. [/QB][/QUOTE]
