In relation to what Dave talks about above about the wanting to bring back the Pioneer train, it should be noted that UP issued a new Portland Area Timetable #4 on September 29th, 2008. On all the subdivisions where the Amtrak Pioneer used to operate, the Passenger train speeds have been removed! I will let all of you decide why UP did that!?
As my ex-coworker Mike, who is now retired, once said, "Put # 4's connecting passengers off here so they can catch the Tooterville Cannonball to Bakersfield please!"
