What would be important would be if Amtrak adds as many Superliners as possible to the CALZ from Denver to Emeryville. Then hold a connecting Capitol corridor train to carry passengers to San Jose and intermediate points. Winter schedules should allow for extra cars although locos might be a challenge but a couple extra UP ACs would work well.train

With so many Super Bowl activities and lodging being up in San Fran, there probably isn't a concentrated demand for service directly from DEN to San Jose. But I agree it would be a good idea to add capacity to the CZ, if possible. Of course Amtrak wouldn't want to alienate their customers in the Carolinas, so it would have to be done w/o a great deal of fanfare and w/o the appearance of Amtrak rooting for the Broncos.
