Amtrak train ???
"The Pelican"
* Daily service between Ft. Worth and New Orleans, via Dallas, Mineola, Longview, Shreveport, Alexandria, Baton Rouge
* Three-times-weekly connections to the Sunset Limited's Florida service
Has Amtrak ever looked into a service like this? Baton Rouge and Shreveport (and even Alexandria) are decent sized markets without Amtrak service (they do have thruway buses however). Seems to me like this would be a very good route for them...capture some of the Texas-Shreveport casino traffic, etc.
Any thoughts?
