The name above is not the correct name of the group, but I saw a presentation at the Metropolitain Conference on Public Transportation Research at the University of Illinois 2 - 4 years ago in which the speaker who was the head of a group that had secured Federal Funding for High Speed Rail said they were in the Final stages of planning before construction of a Springfield, Chicago, Milwaukee high-speed Rail line and that a Madison-Chicago or Chicago-Madison-Milwaukee link was also part of the deal. It was a number of years ago and so I do not remember the details, but it looked like it was fairly close to being a done deal.
I will check around with others who were at the conference in the next few days and see if I can post some accurate information. But the last I heard, High speed rail is not dead in the USA.
Now, I have to say, this is not 300 mph service. We are only talking 120 or 150 mph tops, but it still beats the heck out of driving.
During the convention I will be holding a special 20th century antiques sale for Time Travelers from the future only.
Everything must go!
Fabulously rare items from the 21st and 20th Century available for only a few pounds of gold or diamonds each:
