although Amtrak has artificially constrained LDT usage during times and segments of high usage potential, (Chi-Den set out cars, extra cars other than on the NEC for T-gvng, etc) the western LDTs are often sold out much of the summer. Anyone who claims "no one rides..." hasn't actually been onboard. (I will be on 6, then 421,then 11 in Sept)
As to the Class 1s's attitudes toward pax, they need to be reminded that Amtrak was their "salvation" when they wanted to stop their own operations--they may own the ROW,but the charters are at the pleasure of government. A serious threat of reimposing duty to carry pax and or reregulation should wake them up to cooperation.
