Well duh... some P40s would have to do.I'm sure one can be scrounged up for a 3 car shuttle to meet Empire Corridor trains. The LSL and the shuttle would be enough to provide a variety of options... if the LSL starts selling out add another shuttle. |

Not gonna happen though. For now, LSL is still running on the B&A main, but there's no more slots since CSX is now moving the coastal freights through there. |

Who reimburses Amtrak for the added costs per passenger?Cheaper for them to strand the public. As it is MNCRR is stranding passengers since there is no bustitution between South Norwalk & New Haven. |

Another route they could take (although I doubt the Housatonic is suitable for passenger operations) would be to take the Danbury branch north from S Norwalk, around the balloon track at the old Danbury station, then head east along the Housatonic RR (the old Maybrook line) to Derby, then south along the Waterbury branch to Devon where they would rejoin the NEC. They would need diesels only between Norwalk and Devon. It would be a railfan's dream but highly unlikely. |

My mention of traffic on I95 was to preclude automobiles. It's not just intercity traffic, without MNRR there will be more commuter traffic causing delays. |
