All I know is that if they cut these 2 night trains down to one night trains, Amtrak could save a lot on labor. If the shorter routes appear as if they do better, than shorten these routes considerably.... Surely, some hide will be taken. The more I think about the Sunset Limited, the more I think it should terminate in Dallas/Fort Worth, thereby giving it two big cities anchoring its west end, as two big cities anchor its east end..... With all these savings of Superliner trainsets, the Sunset Limited could become a daily, instead of a trice weekly train through the South, giving a daily train between Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston Texas so desperately needs.....if Amtrak ever wants to increase ridership and end the very poorly timed connection in San Antonio. I also think the Capitol Limited could increase its frequency to twice a day, and the Lake Shore Limited could increase its frequency too to twice a day service, whereby the Cardinal would not be missed...... I will admit, until the recent changes due to a lack of cars, Amtrak could have killed the Twilight Shoreliner on the East coast to provide sleepers for other trains. It can be easily replaced by a red eye Acela trainset. The one Silver train, with better timing through the Carolinas, had ridership problems because of its very poor timing in New York City and Florida. Which probably leds to its downgrading, losing its sleepers already too. As I have posted, if Amtrak is going to move to high speed rail lines, then these lines should be the one kept alive. I have ridden on most of these lines, and the California Zephyr loses a lot of passengers at Reno and Denver. The same could be said of the rest of this lot....
