QUOTE: Originally posted by conrailman American Orient Express should run the Coast Starlight Route from Amtrak and the Auto Train From Lorton to Sanford, FL. And Maybe the Silver Meteor and Silver Star Routes. Let Amtrak keep the Rest of the System. American Orient Express Could do Great Business on them Routes.[:D][8D]

QUOTE: Originally posted by CSSHEGEWISCH Recall that American Orient Express, operating as American European Express, tried operating a very plush, very expensive tri-weekly train between Chicago and Washingtion on the same route as the Cardinal, i.e. by way of the Greenbrier. Like Auto-Train, the operation was undercapitalized and did not survive a derailment which damaged a fair amount of its equipment.
