[QUOTE]Originally posted by yukon11: [QB] Mr. Norman: I think that if the only reason for retaining the existing LD trains is because Congress demands such, it's a losing proposition for everyone. The corridor people won't like it as they would like the 400 million be redirected to Amtrak corridor train needs. I don't think the LD train people like their trains, in their present state, to continue to limp along on a shoestring. The lack of minimally acceptable or unacceptable services, food, and other amenities is going to turn off everyone. Even as a "experiential" or train "hobbyist", it's getting to the point where I won't ride any LD until I can see substantial improvements. What's the answer? I don't know. Possibly the 15 LD trains could be consolidated into just a few, with an upgrade in services with the ones that remain. If not, the only thing I can think of would be for BNSF and UP to receive large federal subsidies to allow BNSF & UP to run a passenger train(s), under their label, along some of the LD routes.
