Special Report
PASSENGER TRAIN SERVICE IN THE WEST
Meetings in Washington, D. C.
Often we complain about things but fail to correct the problem. Yes, I’m referring to the underserved passenger train service in the west. This conveys the sad possibility that some service may be cut while we are attempting to inaugurate daily service between Los Angeles to Palm Springs and Indio California. It’s a simple fact that we have major problems. The Sunset Limited may be eliminated along with other trains such as the Southwest Chief. Here is why: The Sunset Limited operates three days a week - two nights to reach its destination. This exemplifies Amtrak’s worst financially performing train. Federal Legislation requires Amtrak to improve its lowest performing trains. As a result Amtrak completed an internal on how to best improve the fabled Sunset Limited. The study clearly simply revealed that if this train operated daily, it would be one of the best financially performing trains. |
