<p>Amtrak would need to answer at least two questions before adding a through sleeper from NYC or Philadelphia to Chicago on the Pennsylvanian and Capitol Limited.</p> <p>Has the Pennsylvania Legislature ponied up the $4.5 to $6 million per year to continue the Pennsylvanian? According to a story that appeared several months ago in the New York Times, the jury was out on whether the legislature would put up the money. If the state does not fund the train, it is probably history.</p> <p>What is the market demand for a through sleeping car from Newark, Trenton, Philadelphia, Paoli, etc.? If it is not sufficient to generate enough revenue to off set the incremental cost of the service, Amtrak should not be adding any capacity anywhere.</p>
