Politicians Are Gearing Up To Kill Passenger Rail Projects

[WICT106]

Doyle has left the fate of the Wisconsin Rail extension up to Mr. Walker. Walker has repeatedly pedged to kill the train, if given the chance: MILW Journal: Canceling the train costs $ 100 million, 400 jobs.

Words do not express my disappointment with this decision. This would have been the first time since 1971 that Madison, WI would have had regular passenger train service. :angry2:

Well - if it helps, here is some video I took in the 1950's in Madison. They didn't have much going on in those days, either.
