The $ 400 M+ to establish basic service to MCO is a quick way to increase ridership greatly. What is not covered would be if incremental revenue increase more than off set additional operating costs.. The present schedules would allow for connections at Sand Lake station of 2 - 1 car DMU train...

Here is copy of the study.. IMO reducing the curves for Chapter 4, Alternative 4/5 (figure 4-14 page 79 will have most bang for buck giving long sections of 110 MPH as well as reduce total mileage by 1.6 miles. $400M + would do those improvements and save !!88 minutes without doing Spenser...

If Superliners leave WAS then almost all spare parts specific to Superliners can be allocated to other station mainly Sanford, Lorton, and CHI? Maybe only enough parts to keep Superliners going from Lorton <> Beech.Grove

If anyone here checks Capitol after September 5 -6 it will find that family room shows sold out all dates. Since Family room is Superliner only Amtrak is not selling it on Capitol. That IMO is indicating Amtrak is planning to remove Superliners from Capitol after those dates but is not...

A thru sleeper from BOS could be assigned to train #95. with a 1 hour connection at WAS. Now if badly late always placed on Meteor with some mitigation for Raleigh and Columbia passengers. Coach passengers of course can take one of the 2 Acelas. Unfortunately only 1600 regional from WAS is...
