rly wish amtrak was more popular in the midwest outside chicago
amtrak-official answered:
If we could get some speed improvements on the Detroit-Chicago and Indianapolis-Chicago corridors I think we could see a lot more ridership, this idea isn’t unprecedentedwith the recent speed increaseson the Lincoln Service. Obviously lines to cities like Madison and Louisville are still desperatly needed. Also we need to get that daily Cardinal running and continue with construction on TCMC and NLX. Also 3C+D needs to get approval, it might be the most important route in the Midwest
Hmm fair point, that’s why I see projects like 3C+D and restoration of the National Limited (pictured below) as such critical projects for American Rail
