Maybe Amtrak should consolidate its current resources (people, equipment and dollars) into the few routes where it can really have an impact, and 'pour the coal to 'er' there; make it a banner service. <br /> <br />I had lunch with an accounting professor today from Sheboygan (50 miles north of Milwaukee) who last week with another professor took several college students to an accounting meeting in central Chicago. He was planning to have everyone travel in two cars, but snow and ice was in the forecast, so he was concerned about not getting to the meeting in good order. He hit on the idea of checking into Amtrak. <br /> <br />Long story short, the weather was bad. They drove to the Milwaukee station in time for the first departure of the day, and had an all-around successful trip to Chicago and back on Amtrak. Amtrak came through for him. None of the people involved in the trip are 'train riders'. Another professor we were eating with who is from Milwaukee wondered if Amtrak runs more than one train a day to Chicago. The consensus from the conversation was, 'Driving into Chicago is a real hassle; maybe Amtrak is *the* way to go there.
