Amtrak had a train called "The Lone Star" 15 & 16 which was a renaming of "The Texas Chief" of the same number. My "Texas Chief" was one of the trains retained by Amtrak and ran between Chicago and Houston on Santa Fe trackage except for Houston to Rosenberg, TX. Amtrak kept robbing this train of it's good equipment, so the Santa Fe management excercised it's option to recind the train's name. "The Lone Star" survived until the Carter Administration did a hachet job and killed it along with "The North Coast Hiawatha", "The Floridian", "The National Limited" and others in a 1979 budget scapegoat purge. What we need is 4 or more trains a day each way on 30 long distance routes and 9 trains a day each way on 120-150 short to medium distance routes. I've priced it, and it can be built in about 8 years for less money than fighting another Mid-East oil war.
