U.P. delaying Amtrak

I live in a small town about 30 minutes from downtown Fort Worth, Texas. Since I cannot fly, due to an inner ear condition, VERTIGO, and since my town no longer has any scheduled bus service, the only option other than driving long distances is riding on Amtrak! Fortunately, for me, I live about 30 minutes away from two Texas Eagle stops: Fort Worth and Cleburne. <br /> <br />Fort Worth has built a brand new intermodal facility to handle Amtrak trains, the Trinity River Express commuter train, and the city's T buses, whereas Cleburne has a wonderfully restored unmanned Santa Fe depot. <br /> <br />Unfortunately, the Texas Eagle runs mostly on Union Pacific tracks formally Missouri Pacific and Texas & Pacific tracks, as does the Sunset Limited west of New Orleans on formally Southern Pacific tracks. Yes, the Texas Eagle does run on formally Santa Fe tracks south of Fort Worth to Temple. I may be mistaken, but I believe the Texas Eagle runs on formally Illinois Central Gulf tracks in Illinois. <br /> <br />The California Zephyr runs on Union Pacific tracks, formally Western Pacific, west of Salt Lake City, I think. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
