Most interesting new route: Pueblo, Colorado, north to Cheyenne, Wyoming.
- someone in DC must live out there; that I-25 corridor is "hell" from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins;
- for someone to have caught that route, someone was paying attention;
Three suggestions.
First suggestion:
- add a route from Minneapolis to Omaha to Kansas City;
- if they can put in a new route from Pueblo, Colorado, to Cheyenne, Wyoming, they can put in a Minneapolis-Sioux Falls-Omaha-Kansas City route
Second suggestion:
- add a more direct route between DFW-Permian-El Paso;
- this is a no-brainer; this will move the migrants coming up from the southern border to points east and west;
- El Paso would welcome this; I have no idea how Amtrak missed this one;
Third suggestion:
- fund the ambitious 30+ new route / modification plan at 80% of estimate for total project;
- then award money on a state-by-state basis once the permits are all completed and the dirt is ready to be moved;
- but if there's any home to moving this project along, there has to be competition for those dollars;
- most of the additional routes are short routes, each new route inside one or two states
