Westlink is a new brand of state-supported Amtrak services, providing connections in the states of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, New Mexico, and Arizona. Services connect people within and between these states. Some routes have express and/or short-turn patterns, which are alo not shown. Any route currently named by its endpoints will receive an actual name in the future. Fun Fact! There are two Green Rivers and two Las Vegases on this map! TO DO: Waypoints on WIP routes Intersecting routes (Coast Starlight, Pacific Surfliner, ect, ect) Decide on frequencies Fix description Choose names for unnamed routes (routes currently named by endpoints) FRPR Local Stations Combine Santa Fe - MSP with Phoenix - Santa Fe (via either Flagstaff or Socorro)??? (LD Study recommends it, but would cause annoying reverse move in ABQ)
