Amtrak's Track

[nanaimo73]

This is a summary of the track used by Amtrak. By my count this consists of 21,745 route miles. The current system is the smallest in the 34 years Amtrak has been operating.
I am listing each route by current ownership, traditional ownership and mileage by state. I am deleting duplicate routes such as Autotrain or the Vermonter between Washington and New York City.

Great job, but in your detailing of the Southwest Chief's sponsor lines, can you tell me where "Cameron" is? Somewhere near Galesburg?

I'm asking because most (but not all) of us know that BNSF's Southern Transcon. route no longer consists of just the mainline AT&SF. The route out of Chicago is no longer Joliet-Streator-Chillicothe-Galesburg, but Aurora-Mendota-Princeton-Galesburg.

My buddy and I followed all of U.S. 34 from Ogden Avenue in Chicago to the Mississippi River bridge to Burlington, IA last week. A lot of contact with the Southern Transcon. and a lot of movement within it!

[;)][?]

[nanaimo73]

Cameron is about 8 miles west of Galesburg. You can blow the BNSF map up to about 600x and creep around the whole system. The best map on the web in my view.

Dale,

Thanks for all the hard work. Great job!

Interesting compilation.

One comment: The Wolverine and Blue Water trains show as traveling 44 miles through Indiana, and the Pere Marquette shows 50. The two routes diverge at Porter, largely parallel each other (no more than a mile or so apart) through Porter and LaPorte Counties, and enter Michigan within a short distance of each other. I don't mean to shoot the messenger, but how on earth does the CSX routing gain those six extra miles?

Actually, the question should probably be, why is the NS/Amtrak route so short? Using highway mileposts the I-94/I-90 routing that most closely follows these tracks through Indiana yields about 51 miles.

[nanaimo73]

Carl
Thanks for pointing that out. I am sure there are a few more errors in there.
I believe the 45 miles for the Wolverine and the Blue Water is correct and 46 is correct for the Pere Marquette rather than 44 and 50. The C&O line takes a bit of a bend south of Michigan City.
The Interstate takes a big detour around East Chicago to run south of the Calumet River and another detour around Michigan City.

[Anonymous]

Still a fantastic project, Nanaimo, I appreciate it very much.
And thanx for the reference to the map. I have a hardcopy BNSF map, but it reduces Illinois to about the size of two matchbook covers.

Great jop. Interesting to get a comment on the condition and speeds allowed on the various segments. Would take a lot of work thought!

[daveklepper]

On New York - Boston, by error, you put "Harford" in one place where you meant New Haven. Hartford is on the New Haven - Springfield route, and I don't think there is a change in ownership at that particular point. Yes, New Haven changes from Metro North to Amtrak--- except: really State Line NY-Connecticut (just east of Portchester) to New Haven is really owned by Connecticut DOT and operated by Metro North. (This is also true of the New Canaan, Danbury, and Waterbury branches that don't have Amtrak service.) I think either Amtrak or Connecticut DOT now own New Haven - Springfield, with no change in ownership at Hartford.

[nanaimo73]

Thanks Dave. I got that fixed now. I got a bit overwhelmed and can't do a proper proofreading on it.

[siberianmo]

[wow] Quite a labor and very much appreciated. Hope you don't mind if I copy it for my archives of useful stuff [?]

You may want to consider updating those midwest listings to include:

The Kansas City Mule and St. Louis Mule travel daily between St. Louis and Kansas City, MO. The Ann Rutledge travels daily between Kansas City and Chicago, IL. (from Amtrak's web site)

Again, most impressive and quite a lot of work indeed! [tup]

wow, very interesting, i think i am gonna have to print that out, nice work!
