<P mce_keep="true">[quote user="Maglev"] <P>The August 2009 <EM>Trains</EM> mentions eliminating the <EM>Sunset Limited,</EM> and replacing it with a daily Chicago to Los Angeles <EM>Texas Eagle</EM>. There would be "a train with a connecting coach and diner-lounge between San Antonio, Texas and New Orleans. (p. 20)."</P> <P>Florida might get a through train from Chicago, a separate train from New Orleans, or "a return to pre-Katrina service."</P> <P>[/quote]</P> <P>I'll believe it when I see it. </P> <P>A day train between San Antonio and New Orleans makes some sense, as does a day train from New Orleans to Jacksonville. But extending the Sunset Limited to Florida, as advocated by some people, does not make any sense. There are not many people who will get up in the middle of the night to catch a passenger train. And this is when the Sunset serviced many of the communities between New Orleans and Jacksonville. </P>
