I only have each Capitol as an answer for 1 question, I guess I should have mentioned that.

DMVW is the Dakota, Missouri Valley and Western, a regional railroad.

"By many measures, the U.S. freight rail system is the safest, most efficient and cost effective in the world." - Federal Railroad Administration, October, 2009. I'm just your average, everyday, uncivilized howling "anti-government" critic of mass government expenditures for "High Speed Rail" in the US. And I'm gosh darn proud of that.

You got it, Indianapolis. ICG added Montgomery, which is still slightly west (mostly south) of Indy.
