"IF ONLY I COULD HAVE ONE WISH!"

[had8ley]

If you could have one wish concerning Amtrak's service just might would it be ???

 

[KurtisB]

My wish would be to have Superliners or similar double-decker cars on all long-distance trains, including east coast routes.

[Rail Freak]

For all train sets to offer "Pacific Parlor Cars"!!!

Have'nt experienced the CCC, but would like to see "Diner Cars" on all sets, also!!!

But that's 2 Wishes. Oh Well, !!!!

[Long Train Runnin']

Amtrak to serve my hometown on the former CNJ Southern Division :lol:

 

[Bob Dylan]

If you could have one wish concerning Amtrak's service just might would it be ???

Updated equipment, properly staffed so all LD trains could run @least 2 trains a day so as to ensure guaranteed connections which would give us a true National Passenger network! (Real Diners, Dome and Lounge cars would be a cherry on the sundae! :lol: )

 

[NorthCoastHiawatha]

The restoration of the Northcoast Hiawatha over its original route over Homestake Pass.

 

[railiner]

That Amtrak provide the overall travel experience satisfaction that one would receive on the likes of say Singapore Airlines....

 

[Sam31452]

A real chef preparing fresh and decent food in every dining car.

(Or maybe the return of the Floridian Chicago-Miami)

 

[JayPea]

The restoration of the Northcoast Hiawatha over its original route over Homestake Pass.

And that the restoration of the North Coast Hiawatha would involve scheduling so as to give Spokane daytime service and that it would restore service to Yakima and Ellensburg on its way to Seattle via Stampede Pass.

 

[jphjaxfl]

That all Amtrak trains would run as close as possible to realistic published schedules that give Amtrak trains priority over freight trains taking into consideration things that are beyond Amtrak's control such as weather, derailments or line blockage.

couchette cars or some other kind of non-first-class accommodation where I can lay flat at a reasonable rate.

 

[mfastx]

I wish for travel time from Houston to New Orleans to be less than 9 hr 45 mn.

 

[stntylr]

I wish I could travel every Amtrak route in my deluxe private car.

 

[roomette]

Plumbing the never fails.

 

[icbrkr]

I'd be happy not to drive 3-5 hours to the nearest train station.

 

[Ryan]

A guaranteed, stable budget that's 10 times what it gets now. With a healthy, stabile funding stream, then most of the wishes above could be satisfied.

 

[girly25]

my wish is that maybe my train will one day have full crew.

 

[Bill Haithcoat]

A train from Chicago to Florida, preferably via ATL.

 

[uptheirons29]

For Amtrak to really be on time with their performance, and for the freight trains to be more lenient in their ownership of the tracks.

 

[Big Iron]

More Frequency, More Frequency, More Frequency, oops thats three wishes.

 

[pennyk]

More routes to and from Florida - maybe Chicago, Atlanta or New Orleans (or all of them).

 

[MattW]

Since Bill already said CHI-FL via ATL, I'll go with #2 on my list

Corridor-like intercity service through ATL such as ATL-JAX, ATL-Chattanooga, ATL-CLT, ATL-Montgomery, ATL-Augusta.

 

[rtabern]

If I had 1 wish... I'd wish for 3 wishes. (Yes, I'm greedy) And then I'd wish for:

(1) The end of Horizon equipment on Midwest trains... and replacement with Superliner coaches and Sightseer lounges

(2) The Pacific Parlour Cars and Amtrak's last dome NOT to be sold off in 2012 like the plan calls for

(3) The Pioneer and Desert Wind to begin again

 

[darien-l]

I wish for every major American city to have intercity train service. Las Vegas and Phoenix should be at the top of that list.

 

[Amtrak839]

Simple: that the idiotic politicians we elect gave the same amount of funding to passenger rail as they pour out for the damn highways every year.
