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:
“The future is the worst thing about the present.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
“When I heard at the close of the day how my name had been receiv’d
with plaudits in the capitol, still it was not a happy night for me
that follow’d,
And else when I carous’d, or when my plans were accomplish’d,
still I was not happy,
But the day when I rose at dawn from the bed of perfect health,
refresh’d, singing, inhaling the ripe breath of autumn,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
