it’s a shame that Amtrak doesn’t run along I-20 in West Texas. To get on it, we have to go beyond nowhere, so I have never had a ride. LOL!
One of the proposals I've pushed is having Amtrak routes that parallel our major interstates. For example, the
Sunset Limited runs from Los Angeles to New Orleans roughly paralleling I-10. (It used to run all the way to Jacksonville before Hurricane Katrina.) Another train should branch off at El Paso and run the I-20 parallel route all the way to Columbia, SC. From there it could run up to DC on the I-85 parallel route or head south to Charleston on the I-26 parallel route.
I like to think outside the box.
