One other thing regarding the idea of running passengers with pigs. It would be advantageous for Amtrak to do this since it would allow more frequency of arrivals/departures for the passengers. Don't most of Amtrak's cross country trains run something like three times a week? If instead we ran three or so passenger coaches with the intermodals, we could have arrival/departures every six to eight hours, or whenever a hot TOFC is scheduled. This could end up attracting a larger passenger clientele. <br /> <br />Add this to the previous discussions of the logistical problems or running passenger cars with TOFC (most of which can be solved by use of distributed power), and we've just solved the whole Amtrak problem.
