It's been pointed out numerous times elsewhere in the threads, but long-haul routes are short-haul routes, for people in the middle. Very few people drive I-80 from end to end. Lots of people drive it for trips like Iowa City to Omaha.

I'm aware of that. I don't think amtrak is a good alternative to the interstate (I agree with the comnent I'm replying to), so we should stop trying to make it one. A single cross-country route that runs during waking hours and has fewer stops would be cool though.
