So if any Ida-hoes follow me, the state and DOT are currently looking for feedback on the Salt Lake to Boise train, which while popular still has a chance of failing so to ensure that your voice is heard the City of Boise is actually taking emails on the project right now at: MovementforEveryone@CityofBoise.org
Anyways here is the source:
I have decided to scribble in a map of all the cities that have announced their participation in the corridor ID program in March so you can see what may happen over the next few years
Dashes are line that aren’t be considered but should, red is a real line, I just can’t change the color, and Montana has some plans but no other states have voiced interest in restoring the north coast Hiawatha
The current lines that are coming in the corridor I’d program if all goes well and nobody changes their mind looks to be:
- Boise to Salt Lake (orange)
- Downeastern extension to Bangor (yellow)
- Gulf coast service(both shades of light blue)
- 3C+D(pink)
- Madison extension(purple)
- Hiawatha extension to Greenbay(dark blue)
Fun fact, we are like airlines but instead of scamming people, not working, and doing racial profilings, we are just a tad bit slower, get stuck behind CSX and Norfolk Southern, and are run by human beings with real person shaped souls and hearts!
