Pontiac just seems like a weird place to end a train. It would be like ending the Silver Star at Bridgeport.

Could the pass be renovated to add more capacity?

This would be a cheaper alternative. It would also give Worcester a direct train to NYC.

The San Joaquin trains should be extended to LA to give more than 1 daily train between LA and the bay area.

Why does Amtrak go to Pontiac? Why not Flint?

Why? Funding issues? Track owners?

National Limited also served Dayton. Floridan helps a lot more than Sunset East, a slightly changed route would gain more service to Atlanta as well.

Then how does Greyhound manage?

Look at Del Rio's times and frequency of service.

The one bad thing about reroute all trains via Detroit is losing service to downtown South Bend.

The coast of these two states is unserved by Amtrak. There should be a train down to Salisbury via Dover. MODERATOR NOTE: This thread (Coastal Delaware and Maryland) was merged with the existing topic regarding "adding trains."

The Port Jervis line is 95 miles.

is the least? In case you need a refresher one who they are: BSNF CSX NS UP CN CP

Another way to get Cleveland daytime service would be to extended the Empire Service or Pennsylvanian.

Salt Lake City-Provo-Orem, UT Combined Statistical Area 2,423,912 Columbus-Marion-Zanesville, OH Combined Statistical Area 2,398,297 Cincinnati-Wilmington-Maysville, OH-KY-IN Combined Statistical Area 2,208,450 Toledo-Port Clinton, OH Combined Statistical Area 648,610 Cleveland is bigger though.

I mean extended from Denver.

I'm not talking about the state, I am just talking about Salt Lake City.

I would separate the two trains.

It should be made daily and have a St Louis branch. I would keep it on it's current schedule but extend to Hoosier state to Cincinnati to give it daytime service.

I'm confused about why everyone is obsessed about daytime Ohio trains but no one cares that Salt Lake City is in the graveyard shift. If another Chicago-Denver train is established, it could overnight through the mountains and reach Salt Lake City during the day.
