Crew legality would almost disappear on those routes that can support a 2nd train about 12 hours different that the first train. Note there are very few problems on the east coast Florida trains including Palmetto and Auto Train.
As far as equipment turns do not expect any relief before 2035 - 2040 when spare sets could become available. For Superliners that would be one in LAX, SEA, & CHI. If Sunset becomes daily NOL will be covered with the very long layover of CONO equipment. For single level it would be CHI, SSY, MIA. WAS might be a good location in case of a needed short turn of single level LD trains.
