<p>[quote user="John WR"]</p> <p>[quote user="Sam1"]If anyone has verifiable numbers regarding TEMPO's activities, I would be keen to see them.[/quote]</p> <p>I have no numbers, Sam. But it seems unlikely that TEMPO's efforts have done any harm. </p> <p>John [/quote]</p> <p>TEMPO played a role in saving the Texas Eagle and putting it on a daily schedule. It also played a role in bring about the Heartland Flyer. The degree of its influence, however, is impossible to measure. </p> <p>A major factor in saving the Eagle and getting it upgraded to daily status was Senator Hutchison. Or that is how I remember the press stories. She in turn heard from a lot of politicians in Texas, especially the mayors of the smaller cities served by the Texas Eagle, about the need to save and eventually upgrade the train.</p> <p>Most of us like to believe that we have had a bigger influence on events (private and collective) than tends to be the case. TEMPO is no different. </p>
