I have to say that from a practical perspective, and not to upset any of my Catholic friends, (I'm Catholic too, and heard the gripes) that from an operational standpoint in these affairs I found it detrimental overall to exclude any affairs from Palm Sunday. The Easter season in general has several religious events by several other religions that ARE observed, and somewhere you have to draw the line. In over 15 years of serving another RR group, we never observed any significant "loss" in revenue or operations on this day. This is especially true when you operate events such as the Easter train themes, when Palm Sunday is right in the middle of the best operating times. It's just something that has to be dealt with.
