In Las Vegas, nothing succeeds like excess.

And Dotsero = "Dot Zero" = 0.0 point on the Colorado River survey.

Here's the PDX to SEA line-up for Sunday, December 1st as of Thursday night, November 21st. Compare these fares with the prices on November 6th. Most Amtrak fares were set at the top bucket, $66 for Coach and $90 for Business Class and there has been almost no change. In contrast, Flixbus has...

I've done that more than once and it's great. And for a good breakfast, there are several possibilities within walking distance.

It's being driven by it being redundant when coal hauls end, and by US40, the Victory Highway, not being as easy a drive as I-70. Note that I'm referring to modeling used by transportation planners, not actual travel conditions.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I'd surmise BNSF locomotives with an Amtrak pilot.

The occasion that I experienced was at the end of 2011. I missed the opportunity to ride that rare mileage because Amtrak put me up in an Albuquerque hotel for what turned out to be three nights waiting for highways to Denver to open up. As it turned out, it would have been cheaper and faster...

If you have any miles left over, the Netherlands is interesting and English is widely spoken. In 2016 I went to a conference in Amsterdam and every "coffee pause" I would try to just eavesdrop on Dutch colleagues and they would segue to English without missing a beat. 2002 - tramways a part of...

There aren't any charter buses in La Junta and the road to the Front Range cities is closed. Going back to KCY might work. In the past, Amtrak trains have been rerouted via Amarillo when Raton Pass was closed by snow.

They want new technology. Some are also interested only in going to DEN airport directly.

Here's the PDX to SEA line-up for Sunday, December 1st as of Wednesday night, November 6th. Usually I have avoided holiday travel, but it might be interesting to look at it. Most Amtrak fares were set at the top bucket, $66 for Coach and $90 for Business Class. 0645 AT $66/$90 0715 FB $53...

Yes, DEN <> GJC is pretty simple compared to starting service in other places. There are a couple of potential additional stops, but they would not be critical for a start-up. BTW, in 1949 there were five daily passenger trains through the Moffat Tunnel in each direction, not to mention the...

The cost of the A-Line construction was reduced by single-tracking segments (I was involved in getting the double-track extended into the 40th Avenue station, which is a good turnback point for bus bridges. The contractor proposed a more severe deletion of the originally planned double-track...

The CZ stop at Glenwood Springs is the closest navigable point for Aspen. ColoRail has worked on the idea of a Colorado Zephyr, running year-round. However, the upscale people on the West Slope who favor rail service want a high-speed line. The governor's interest in the Denver & Salt Lake...

True, but setting up servicing for just the two sets would be an expense. And one of the selling points on the Cascades is the through service.
