    Pros of the route:
    -Decent space for the P42dc to run on (plus it’s a full route)
    -maybe a route hop between Springfield and Framingham?
    -p42dc’s at LA union, Boston south station, Trenton and Barstow/victorville
    -odd schedule with interesting service patterns

    Absolutely not, they're located nowhere near each other. Should we add a route hop between Frankfurt and Köln?
