i could see more coaches and sleepers for the trains to florida, and all the west coast trains. If Amtrak could do it right, it would be good for them to have extra cars to put on the trains as demand requires. In the west, Keep extra Superliners in Seattle, Portland, Oakland, LA, Denver, DALLAS, Minneapolis, New Orleans. I know that it would cost a lot of money, but it would be worth it. At times when there is huge demand, which would be the summer, and holidays, you would be able to meet the demand instead of saying sold out. In the mean time, the extra cars would make it so that they could keep the maintence up all year and keep the cars in good shape. Also, for sleepers, I would make one care that was all double deluxe bedrooms so that they are like master suites. You could then put a double bed in there as well as the bunk beds. If you made the cars right, you could put that car at the end of the train, so that way they would have a huge window to look out of the back. Make it like a cruise. I would also build more Pacific Parlour cars for the rest of the system, as those are a huge success. Now of course this would all take a lot of money, but if Amtrak was given the resources to do this, it would work. <br />Brad
