My road atlas says its 1011 miles from Denver to Chicago. It is also 780 miles from Denver to Dallas. Denver is a fast growing city. Colorado has a lot of ski resorts, which would make a nice destination in the winter. Of course, this route is not on DOTs plans, but it should. Adding another 1000 miles at $20 million per mile adds up to another $20 billion. I am for it. <br /> <br />But over or through the Rockies, Denver is a very poor location. The passes are the highest there, it would be much easier to get over the Rockies in either Montana (GN) or New Mexico (SP). But there aren't any large cities along these other routes like Denver. More than likely the cost to build at any of these routes would cost as much as the rest of the network.....By the time we got to Oakland, we would have to have a sleeper, something I'm attempting to avoid.... <br /> <br />Yes, it would be nice to get the +100 cars back into service. They don't generate any revenue in Indianapolis... But we should also address why they are there. We are operating passenger trains on freight railroad tracks. With so many derailments one wonders whether the freight companies are keeping their tracks up to snuff.....
