<p>Kenneo,</p><p>Here's the rub:  If the EB is rerouted onto the Stampede Pass line like BNSF wants to do, then several things happen that change the entire route structure of the EB with or without that southern Montana reroute/new service....</p><ol><li>Assuming a continuation of the Portland split, a Stampede Pass reroute would move the site of the split to Pasco.</li><li>Since the Stampede Pass reroute would add 3 or 4 hours to the shedule, for the EB to continue to arrive at Seattle at 7-ish am but continue to leave Seattle at dinertime means it would pass through Spokane at 8 or 9 at night.  Now we're talking potentially increased (read:  more convenient) boardings at Spokane.</li><li>Which also means the arrivals at Whitefish move to the early afternoon.  Does that then detract from the "overnight" experience for Seattle bound passengers"</li><li>Thus if we get a new train from Spokane to Missoula/Billings/on east, does that mean it would be scheduled to meet the EB in Spokane, or will it be scheduled for the primary convenience of the Montana clients?</li></ol>
