It will be studied for restoration!CrossroadsUrbanApts wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 1:43 pm For my whole childhood, there was an Amtrak route from LA to Salt Lake City (and on to Chicago), going through Barstow and Las Vegas. It was called the Desert Wind. My family would take it from SoCal to SLC almost every Christmas to go skiing. I chalk up my love of long-distance trains to that route.

Also, Brightline wouldn't be a "long distance" route, but rather focused on serving the LA market and connecting with CAHSR.
