[quote user="Datafever"][quote user="oltmannd"] Recognizing that there are corridors embedded within the current LD routes doesn't mean the end of through traffic.  It might just mean that some small number of through coaches and sleepers may connect between trains on the route.[/quote]Not even worrying about LD passengers, just those who must make a connection between corridors -Let's say that there are two trains a day between Denver and Omaha, and two trains a day between Omaha and Chicago.  That's two round trip trains.   The passenger arriving in Omaha that is continuing on must now make a connection.  If the train is late, do you 1) delay the connecting train?, or 2) make all connecting passengers wait for the next train (which may not be for another day)?The way I see it, corridor trains are really only useful for the people who are travelling within that corridor, unless the number of trains in the connecting corridor is rather large (probably four or more a day). [/quote]You're forgetting - most LD rail travellers are in it for the casual haul, not really worried about time constraints, e.g. in vacation mode.  Therefore, if an inbound train is late and the connection with the outbound is missed, more than likely they won't complain too much as they adjust to an unexpected period of local site-seeing et al.  As long as the rail company accomodates them and doesn't leave them to fend for themselves.........
