<p>[quote user="Paul of Covington"]</p> <p> It won't happen if Louisiana has to pay one penny.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>Well again I can't speak to Louisiana politics. </p> <p>I am, however, working as a defense contractor at Barksdale AFB in Shreveport. I live in San Antonio. Its a 7-hour 400-mile drive for me each way when I do drive home. Until recently I could fly via DFW for as little at $267.00 RT. Those air fares have since doubled.</p> <p>Its a 3-hour drive to Dallas on I-20 (give or take).</p> <p>State support aside. I think there would be a market for this service. If you nothing else, it would add to the significance of Dallas/Ft. Worth as a hub and spoke center for Amtrak.</p>
