<br /><p>"I think all this has to be factored in -- delays, weather, security, the "real life" concerns. IMHO if Amtrak could field passenger trains that would be from downtown Chicago to downtown Detroit, <strong><em>RELIABLY</em></strong>, in four to four-and-a-half hours, they would do good business. </p><p>Now, is it possible to do this without electrification? The evidence from VIA's corridor suggests that the answer is yes."</p><p>So what do you do when you get to "downtown" Detroit? Not much a real destination. I suspect most travellers final destination would be somewhere in the suburbs. How do they get there?<br /> </p>
