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.

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.
