[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Overmod The absolute reductions in operating cost, however, would appear substantial -- not just in terms of the passenger-train operations, but in terms of freed-up capacity for freight movement. I'm reasonably certain that the schedule could be re-extended to daily operation when demand warrants, or if it becomes obvious that realistic numbers of passengers either object to it (evidenced by correspondence) or 'vote with their feet' by quitting the trains entirely (evidenced by lower route passenger-mile receipts). [/quote] I have seen the Texas Eagle go from a daily train to a Tri-weekly train then back to a daily train. I am not sure right now which it is. At one time it was daily between Chicago and St. Louis and Tri-weekly from St. Louis to Texas. I would have to check the Amtrak site to know which it is now. Once in a while when it is running just a few minutes late I see the red marker lights as it leaves town, this is just after midnight when I get off work.
