Ok, <br /> <br />I read this topic and was curious. Anyways I can think as far back to 1992 when we have been kickin the idea of a commuter train around. Originally these proposals were very odd and never got off the ground. <br /> <br />The idea when we rebuild I-94 that the commuter line would run either in between 94 West and 94 East and would connect with Milwaukee and Waukesha and place in between. <br /> <br />1997 When we did the I-94 resurfacing project we tried 2 do commuter rail from the Amtrak station 2 Waukesha using amtrak equipment and the now abandoned West Allis line. If I remember right after two weeks, the test was abandoned because nobody used it because of the price, and limited parking. <br /> <br />I am a huge supporter of the Commuter rail project, and can see its advantages in Chicago. The sonner they get Commuter in downtown Milwaukee, the better (Like within a few days ~dreams~. ) the easier it will be for me 2 take a job in Northern Chicago. Then I wouldnt have 2 drive 2 Antioc and take Metra to work, or any of the other ideas I have on commuting to work. <br /> <br />COMMON EVERYONE LOOK DEEP INTO THOSE SOFAS, spare change in your car, anything. Lets get commuter goin here and have it connect to Antioch buy the end of the month ~another dream~. <br /> <br />Seriously though I really hope that this talk doesnt die out again and it becomes a reality. I think it is about time we implement commuter service from Milwaukee to Chicago and possibly Madison. <br /> <br />IF anything I mentioned is wrong about the past please let me know Im kind of goin off the top of my head. <br /> <br />DON <br />
