Dear Tom, If you remember the reason why Amtrak was formed in the first place, then you will also understand why some of your ideas are flawed, as is Mr Bush's ideas for Amtrak. There is a case to be made however, where you live. The run from Milwaukee to Chicago is roughly 84 miles. That's a commuter rail run in some parts of the country. The Long Island Railroad's run from Penn Station in Manhattan, New York City to Montauk Point, Suffolk, New York is roughly 150 miles. That short run between your two cities could best be served by the regional commuter rail agency METRA, with state funding divided up between Wisconsin and Illinois. This will actually let Amtrak expand service to the twin cities, just like it was back in the 40's through the 60's when you had multiple train services from three competing rail companies. There are plenty of places where Amtrak should have through ticketting services with the commuter rail companies, especially since much of the routes share the tracks and some of the stations. Just a thought. Glenn A R E A L RAILROADER...A TRUE AMERICAN!!!
