<p>[quote user="CSSHEGEWISCH"]A reroute of the Empire Builder to larger population centers might be counter-productive. One of the strengths of Amtrak's long distance routes is that they serve the smaller towns that DON'T have alternatives. The larger population centers tend to have some air service which is one of the reasons that people don't ride the train. Amtrak would do better to serve smaller areas where the competition doesn't go.[/quote]</p><p>Hmmmmmm....</p><p>How is it more "productive" to bypass larger population centers and instead serve smaller towns? Is that part of Amtrak's charter?</p><p>Hmmmmmm....</p><p>What other Amtrak LD train <em>other than</em> the EB intentionally bypasses the larger cities to serve podunk towns?</p>
