Our gas just went to $2.75 in Illinois today. I was wondering how the gas prices affect the train business. Do you think Amtrak will raise it's price because of rising prices also?
Looks like Guest_Gingee can have a cop of coffee with every gallon with the difference in price of gas here.Our gas just went to $2.75 in Illinois today
Must be the number 1 classic oximoron :lol: :lol: :lol:which makes it harder to believe that GWB is using intelligence in his haste to destroy Amtrak

I have done a Hastings-Chi-Was-Charleston SC befor. Just add a few miles and you have a Nebraska-Florida route. It would be nice to run a train down there, maybe through Louisville, Nashville, Birmingham, and to Mobile or Atlanta-Jacksonville. But they need to extend the Heartland Flyer from Oklahoma City to Newton Kansas first.Guest said:I agree Gingee. I live in Nebraska and taking Amtrak to Florida just isn't an option.

To get this back somewhat on topic, I think more people are investigating railroad travel as a travel option.
Yes - Chicago - Louisville via PRR, Louisville & Nashville and Atlantic Coast Line to Florida. I rode that in the 50's a few times.Wasn't the South Wind a CHI to LAX via LV NV?
