[quote user="BaltACD"]Volker is right in there with Congress in thinking that trains that operate between end points have only a passenger load that operates between those same end points. [/quote] That is not what I meant. I said those going from end to end are mostly tourists. I didn't say all are going this way. [quote user="BaltACD"]The utility of Amtrak's LD trains has a lot of loading between intermediate points. There would be more utility were there two trains daily between the OD pairs roughly 12 hours apart, so that communities that are served in the middle of the night by one train could be served in the middle of the day by the other; the bigger question is if there would be sufficient passenger loads to support both trains.[/quote] We agree that one train daily leaves out complete areas out of short distance travel. I'm not sure that a second train will help. Might be to optimize the schedule the layover time have extended at the expense of more equipment. Or you need a few additional local trains at more convenient departure times. Regards, Volker
