SP5103 --
Thank you very, very much for the correction.
I will correct that on the other sites I posted on.
And, yes, a long, long bus drive all night long
is not easy on anyone. Very hard to sleep well
sitting up, which is what all bus passengers have
to do.
I did read from a reliable source on another site that
the railroad is right now qualifying crews on the Inside
Gateway. Good idea!
So -- the biggest problem that will keep Amtrak from
detouring via the Inside Gateway for more than a few days
in a row is the fact that doing that would make the trains
so late that all the crews and equipment would soon be way
out of place. And Amtrak, as we know, is perpetually short
of crews and equipment. (And the less said abut "State of
Good Repair", the better.)
