OK, but define "service additions". This would be the restoration of a route that ran under Amtrak, so I would not call it new...what better way to fight that off then redirect the debate towards possible service additions.

You can pretty much forget about service to Boise from the East unless someone finds the money to restore the track that was used by the Pioneer to get to Boise from the east. That track was abandoned a while back. All you will get is a stop in the middle of nowhere with a bus connection to Boise, somewhat like Maricopa for Phoenix or in the past Borie for Cheyenne.One a daily Portland-Boise-Salt Lake City run that runs through Idaho in Daylight(what a novel idea, have at least one Amtrak train pass through during the day, might get some good ridership), and another timed to connect with the California Zephyr in Denver.
