[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mr. Toy: [QB] [QUOTE]Residents of Winter Park, Glenwood Springs and other resort towns along the route say the closure will be hard on the travel business.[/QUOTE] I sympathize with that. But this may be an opportunity for those resorts to show Congress first-hand what a permanant shut-down might mean for such communities. If business falls off substantially for that month, they can show their Congresscritters in no uncertain terms that Amtrak does indeed have economic value. On the Wyoming route, in December 1962, when I was 3, we rode the California Zephyr from end to end. I seem to recall it went through Cheyenne. I remember getting off at a stop somewhere (which my parents later informed me was in Wyoming) where I got a little red plastic toy car at the gift shop. I also remember some very interesting canyons with lots of tunnels which I thought were tremendously fun. But the canyon walls were smooth-sided and tan colored like sandstone, unlike the rough craggy rocky canyons in the Rockies. Does that mean anything to anyone? [/QB][/QUOTE]
