What a shame. I mean, this route, complete with running the Empire Builder through Madison as it makes its' way across Wisconsin, would be a sure winner in the Amtrak network. yet the opponents are coming out of the woodwork.

Judging from the comments, the opponents are familiar only with either driving or flying. Read the comments. What was it we said about the "strictly drive/fly mentality" ?
Despite this being one of the smartest transportation investments to come along in my lifetime, there are those who are opposed to it no matter what. It makes me think that these opponents have never been aboard a train, if only to provide a direct experience to contrast their preconceived notions that "No one rides trains."
I say that the State DOT should just get the route built and in operation. Before the opponents, who are proud of their ignorance, strip the project of its funding.
