[quote user="arbfbe"]What the article linked fails to mention is the conesensus is to move the split of #8 and #28 east from Spokane to Fargo or some other convenient place in ND.  Train #8 would pretty much remain the same on the highline though shorter.  The idea is to make this a win-win.  A past proposal was to split a train off at Cheyenne or Denver and send it north through WY and on to Portland.  Perhaps this recent plan will gain more traction than the last since it does not have to fight the floods of coal trains somewhere in the PRB. [/quote]Question:  How would one take an all-Amtrak trip from LA to the Twin Cities?  I would suppose that'd be the Chief from LA to Chicago, then the EB back to the Twin Cities, right?What about splitting the EB at Garrison MT, with the #28 heading south via Pocatello, but instead of heading west via Boise to Portland (e.g. the Pioneer), just keep heading south through Salt Lake, Las Vegas, and on to LA!  That route seems competitive mileage-wise with the LA to Chicago to Twin Cities routing.
