The Starlight Express along the West Coast could be similarly profitable if AMTRAK could run it effectively.

The Starlight Express along the West Coast...

That would be the "Coast Starlight", L.A. to Seattle. Semi-famous. Older trains, a little cranky. Track aint that great in many places. Some real nice scenery, though. In the Winter time, the track can be more dangerous, through parts of N. CA, Oregon & Wa. Train doesn't hug the Coastline, except for in S.CA, South of San Luis Obispo. Northbound from this city I mention, S.L.O., the train by-passes S.F, passing through Oakland, instead, and from there, inland to Sacramento, then North to OR & WA.
