6 hours from Vegas to L.A., that is very good reasonable time. I wish it would be permanent. I will do anything for an L.A. to Vegas train, I'll take whatever comes first:
Amtrak, Desert Express, X-Train, Z-Train, or Maglev. With all these options, something has to happen!
Amtrak should do a weekend special to Vegas, leave L.A. Thursday and Fridays, and return Saturdays and Sundays from Vegas.
@singwith Ya that would require a lot of equipment to be transfered-look at the horizons and heritage cars-you'd have to reconfigure the shops in LA to fix problems in case somethign broke on the single-level cars.
Nice vid! Whats wrong with the Chief's OTP lately? Are they still having delays from the flooding? Oh, and I've caught #79 a couple times. Those P42s sure get around...
Two great domes at 0:51!

I think NTSB needs to let Class 1 Railroads bring Passenger service back, they can do a better job

@rms492 I know it would be nice. I hate to go to Vegas by car. Lack of equipment, it wont happen in five years.

A train from LAX to Las Vegas (or even OKJ/BFD to Las Vegas in worst case) is the biggest no brainer of them all!

>delays from the flooding?
I think so. The chief went back to on time from July 5th.
singwith 3 years ago
Mainly from track work in the midwest. BNSF is done w/ that & the Chief should return back to on time.
