Future Plans
Future expansion of FrontRunner is anticipated to eventually include service north to Brigham City and south to Payson) and possibly Santaquin or maybe even Nephi.
There are ongoing studies regarding the feasibility of resuming Amtrak's Desert Wind and Pioneer routes, but so far there does not appear there would be sufficient riders to support the return of either route in the near future. Moreover, most of the current focus regarding the Desert Wind route is between Los Angeles, California and the Las Vegas Valley in Nevada. In addition, of the four possible routes considered for the Pioneer, two of them run from Denver, Colorado through southern Wyoming to Odgen, then north to Pocatello, Idaho and thereby entirely bypassing Salt Lake City.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or plans:
“Given for one instant an intelligence which could comprehend all the forces by which nature is animated and the respective positions of the beings which compose it, if moreover this intelligence were vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in the same formula both the movements of the largest bodies in the universe and those of the lightest atom; to it nothing would be uncertain, and the future as the past would be present to its eyes.”
—Pierre Simon De Laplace (1749–1827)
“In order to become spoiled ... a child has to be able to want things as well as need them. He has to be able to see himself as a being who is separate from everyone else.... A baby is none of these things. He feels a need and he expresses it. He is not intellectually capable of working out involved plans and ideas like “Can I make her give me...?” “If I make enough fuss he will...?” “They let me do ... yesterday and I want to do it again today so I’ll....””
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
