We would all like to see new routes developed. However, unless very much larger sums of money are made available, at least for the immediate future, making better use of exisiting routes is more viable: Upgrade infrastructre and stock to be faster, more reliable and more comfortable. Increase frequency of services by making tri-weekly services daily. What use is a tri-weekly service? No wonder people don't use them. Would it be possible to actually run the California Zephyr coast-to-coast? How would you run it>? A morning and afternoon departure? This would be an interesting aspect to work on. Not having to change trains. Line speeds would have to be higher - you would have to average 100 mph or better to make it attractive enough. Ideally you would want to travel coast to coast in 24 hours or less Fill in obvious gaps in the network to make the transition smoother. Longer term; more routes. Above all, though, a properly-funded rail network is needed. If it runs at a profit, fine. If not, then okay, it is a social good for the good of the country. I thought California was the fifth richest economy in the world, and Los Angeles county the 10th?
