[quote user="daveklepper"] I agree completely with the incremental approach to Milwaukee - Madison, exactly what I was thinking.  But I would opt for four or five each way, using cost-efficient equipment, possibly the Stadler diesel-electric so-called light rial cars that do meet FRA standards and are in use in Ottawa, outside of Portland, OR. and Dallas - Fort Worth.   They can be modified to meet the high platforms of the Milwaukee Station and probably should have high platforms along the whole line, say just 150 feet long at first with expansion possible.  Two men should be the maximum size crew, one-man if possible, with ticket machines, validation, proof of payment inspection, and everything that speeds loading and unloading at the intermeidate stops that would be important sources of revenue. [/quote] Stadler rail cars are used by Capital Metro on its Red Line, which runs from Leander to Austin.  They are also used by the Denton County Transportation Authority on its Trinity Mills to Denton line.   The Trinity Railway Express, which runs from Dallas to Fort Worth, uses EMD F59PH and EMD F59PHI locomotives and Bombardier Bi-level coaches.
