If I remember, when they started the route SP opposed it and must have had better political connections in DC. I remember at the time reading that the Nixon admin was in favor of it being on the ATSF, even though the SP route was more in the center of most towns. I wondered at the time why Nixon would care, but usually that sort of thing involves campaign $$$.
