Philly has been told 1000000 times that the Empire Builder is very profitable and still does not get it. Would he care to explain?

I would love to see a Three Rivers, preferably providing daytime service to Ohio.

If Arizona wants to pay for it, I have proposed a corridor service going Los Angeles-Phoenix-Tuscon.

The Empire Service needs more stops. Let the Lake Shore limited serve as the express service.

Get rid of most of the Empire Builder? Whitefish, Montana has more riders than Indianapolis.

How is it no loss?

Named route. Car Sandburg and Illinois Zephyr count as separate routes.

I agree, but my post did say if you had to cut one.

I would cut one of the duplicate Illinois routes.

Floridan would be my choice.

In my fantasy Amtrak plan, the revived National limited also goes west from Kansas City to Denver, Salt Lake City, and ends in the bay area.

A pipe dream I have is Chicago-Minneapolis-Pierre-Rapid City-Cheyenne-Ogden-Salt Lake City-Emeryville train. Would restore service to both of the 48 contiguous states without Amtrak.

I'm all for better times for CIN, but it would be a shame to cross the New River Gorge at night.

I don't know the exact schedule, this is just an idea that I have to improve the national network. If this is a big problem for some reason than a second Lake Shore Limited servicing Ohio in the daytime would be a good idea.

As you know, Ohio should get a daytime train. Cleveland has two trains, but both stop in the middle of the night. The Lake Shore limited should be retimed to give Cleveland a daytime train, as most of the route is served by other trains.
