[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by jeaton</i> <br /><br />If anyone wants to keep on top of the current status of "high speed" rail service for the Midwest I recommend checking the Midwest High Speed Rail Association's web site at http://www.midwesthsr.org/index.htm . <br /> <br />Jay <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Hey, I really appreciate the link. <br /> <br />Looking at their map http://www.midwesthsr.org/graphics/newmapCurvesL.gif they are showing the Chicago-Toledo route as a lock, while showing the Chicago-Columbus route as "under study", while the maps I got at IDOTpresented them as "either or". <br /> <br />What I find fascinating is that there are people still walking the streets of Ft Wayne saying (with enthusiasm) "Hey, won't that HSR be great when they get it here? <br /> <br />Assuming ANY of it ever gets built...I wonder how long some of those bus routes will survive? <br /> <br />That would be the easiest way to cultivate voter support/... promise them a bus, and then cancel it in 2 years, blaming the voter for "failing to support the route with adequate ridership"...
