The upper midwest could easily become as interconnected as the Northeast, Lets explore what steps are needed to do that.
I am defining the upper midwest as Northern Illinois and Indiana, alongside Wisconsin and Minnesota. So the Major cities we are looking at are Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Duluth, and Chicago
please do not connect chicago
I'm sorry, this is one of the 4 projects I highlighted
Why'd this gotta leave out Madison? I got a friend there 😭
Because the Madison route is a different one that still needs government funding
All currently planned amtrak routes use existing Rights of way and tracks
What about adding Fargo to that? It's the same line as Minneapolis/St. Paul, and could get way more people to use the service that are willing to travel to Fargo anyways for their airport
I would, but that issue needs to be taken up with MNDOT, I think we could certainly expand the route if they ever want to though
