Today's Wisconsin State Journal has an article about a man in the Madison WI area who has been arrested for making false radio calls to train crews. He also had fake railroad ID's and photos of himself in a locomotive cab.
I wonder if there is any connection between the Amtrak bomb scare and this fellow.

See madison.com for the Wisconsin State Journal news story.

Today's News Wire has been updated to include an image of the 150th Anniversary of Horseshoe Curve celebration. Check it out, it's a pretty awesome shot.
