I would like to respond to the person who wrote a reply on 4-7-03. You say I missed a couple of points. You said people don't take the train all the way. That they ride to the nearest large airport. The only stop from Louisville to Indianapolis, is Jeffersonville, Ind. A short drive to Louisville airport. Yes, it is dark territory, and your right speed is 49 mph. But, even if the train traveled at 45 mph the train could make Chicago in under 8 hours. <br />Walking would be just about as fast. USPS stopped using trains in the late sixties. Railroads were discontinuing passenger trains before the post office ended rail service. USPS didn't help the railroad passenger train, but there demise was started long before the USPS ended service. <br /> America better start something real soon. People had better get off their duff and write to there senator. Its time to get high speed rail going. <br /> I'm not against the Iraqi War, but if we can come up 100 billion dollars, to support that, we should be able to come up with 80 billion to build a High Speed Rail Network. It would be the envy of everyone. <br /> <br />BPtrainwreck
