The Silver Star would split and be
combined at Clifford Lane with only the FEC segment serving Union
Terminal (a local FEC route will also serve the existing Amtrak station). This way, Amtrak avoids having
to back up at the historic station.
#91’s times have been altered because the Silver Star is expected to be
put back on its original route between Petersburg and Raleigh upon SEHSR
service starting. #92 has earlier times so it won’t siphon riders from #80 in
North Carolina.
In order to preserve the
Cross-Florida route (renamed the Silver Palm), the number of local frequencies
(excluding the split Silver Star) along the FEC route has been reduced to one. The
FEC Locals would be provided with surplus Horizon Cars on an interim basis (the Silver Meteor schedule is unchanged in both directions).
I have assumed that Metro
Jacksonville’s rumors of a Palmetto extension to Jacksonville are verified and I've taken the extra step to send Trains #89 and #90 down the S-Line to Tampa via Ocala, once again allowing residents in that part of Florida to experience train
travel. At that point, the Palmetto would be equipped with Viewliner I
equipment and one of the last remaining Heritage baggage cars while the Silver
Palm will get the Palmetto’s Business Class cars.
Amtrak would temporarily use this
setup while the Florida DOT comes up with a plan to provide permanent corridor
service. Once a plan is in place, Amtrak would likely concentrate on the
Silvers and the local stops FEC service (frequencies would be doubled) and the A-Line, S-Line, and
Cross-Florida local runs would then be franchised out to other operators.
