Feds finalize new plan for Amtrak's future long-distance trains through Utah and South Dakota

3. I rode the Deset Wind in the 80's once

When Ronnie made Amtrak one of his targets. Alas, the train got discontinued later.

I have a beef with the proposed Dallas—Denver train. First, the BNSF has shifted a lot of its freight traffic over to the former Texas zephyr route and the largest town between Fort Worth and Amarillo would be Wichita Falls. Considering how few people ride long-distance Amtrak trains end-to-end, I think they’d do better toting it west to Sweetwater on the former T&P, then running it to Colorado north on former ATSF trackage through Lubbock and Amarillo
