[quote user="blue streak 1"]   <blockquote> <div><img src="/TRCCS/Themes/trc/images/icon-quote.gif" /> Texianbear54:</div> <div>   Sam has a great idea--give the Sunset a decent schedule,  connecting NOL with HO and SA at reasonable times and reducing the long dwell in SA for travellers from north of there.  This would not cost UP a cent, but it would add revenue to a long neglected schedule.  I would still keep the name "Sunset Limited" and Nos. 1 & 2 for the whole route.  Amtrak's plan has all that in their proposal!! It's not so much lack of imagination as it is tunnel vision for Amtrak--all they have ever been able to see is Chicago and the NE.  They show plenty of imagination--or at least interest for northeastern routes and those connecting Chicago with the west coast, but the rest of us--in the part of the country with a growing population can take the bus! Would someone please post a link to Amtrak's plan for "improving" the Eagle and making the connection between NOL and SA daily? Thanks! <div style="clear:both;"></div>   </div> </blockquote>   Here is your link.See section PRIIA submissions then Go to report on sunset/eagle improvement! <a href="http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?c=Page&pagename=am%2FLayout&p=1237608345018&cid=1241245669222">http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?c=Page&pagename=am%2FLayout&p=1237608345018&cid=1241245669222</a> <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] My post states clearly that the proposed schedules changes are Amtrak's.  I did not mean to imply that it was my idea.   Amtrak could improve the current schedule, i.e. eliminate the Sunset Limited, run the Texas Eagle through to LA three days a week, reduce the dwell time in SA, and create a three times a week NO to SA train until Amtrak can work out a daily schedule for a through Texas Eagle and connecting train.
