Is in the corridor ID program. The feds have put forward a 500k USD grant to study returning the passenger rail service route to Madison. more info

I’m not holding my breath

I was thinking the same thing. I would be ok with a passenger rail to Milwaukee, then to Chicago.

Also, Half-Life 3 confirmed?

Yes, and there will be cake.

Based on the name of the train, I thought that this was going to be a train that would take you to see the Northern Lights in comfort. Kinda bummed now, NGL.

What equipment are they using? If it's going to be using the Hiawatha Siemens venture trains it's going to be a very uncomfortable trip.
