According to a posting on trainorders.com the section of the old ATSF Northern transcon route between Hutchison,KS and La Junta,Co has been downgraded so the new speed restrictions will limit the SWc to 60mph between these points, 40MPH for freights! :angry:
There is speculation that this is a wedge on the part of BNSF to get Amtrak to move to the Southern Transcon through Amarillo and Clovis,NM. The posters figure this will add 45minutes-1Hour to the run time of the Chiefs????
