[quote user="nanaimo73"]AntiGates-Which do you think would get more riders from Fort Wayne, a 79 mph train on the CFW&E to Chicago (2.5 hrs?), or 79 mph through Muncie to Indianapolis (2 hrs?)?[/quote]Probably the Indy route, but I don't think that route could sustain itself.I recall reading in Trains Mag a while back, that in order for new passenger corridors to "work", endpoints are key. You have to have an attractive destination at either end of the project, to get the traffic necessary to support the route. with the points in between being secondary.  And that made a lot of sense to me. Endpoints such as Chicago-New York, Los Angeles-Las Vegas, etc Chicago-Cleveland probably isn't good enough, nor is Chicago-Columbus  Fort Wayne is NOT a real destination. And I don't think that Detroit-Indianapolis (with Ft Wayne as a point in between) could draw the patronage needed to make it work, either. [2c]
