Not that much new to post back...
That's good run down of a lot of what has been wrong with Amtrak for nearly fifty years in trying to open new markets with no real business plan, subject to the whims of the week...
Saw that story about the new Coast Ghost overnight on the Coast...
The Coast Ghost rides again...? Or is at least issuing a press release looking for investors that got some attention...
It will all depend on if folks think they can make money and if UP thinks it will make enough money for them to allow it to use their tracks... Investors tend to like to invest in enterprises that make money. And the inherent problem with many overnight rail passenger services is that the "butt miles" per passenger "car mile" and per train mile in bedrooms and berths is less than in Brightline's coaches. So, "We'll see"...
