From an article in The Capital Times:A high speed rail project that includes Madison is in President Obama's strategic plan of a "top 10" list of rail projects that have been identified to jump-start a potential world-class passenger rail system in America.
The president released his strategic plan for high speed rail Thursday morning -- a plan that would spend $8 billion in stimulus funds and another $1 billion a year for five years as a down payment to revitalizing the country's passenger rail system.
The 10 corridors identified in the plan include the Chicago Hub Network, which would link Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison and Minneapolis/St. Paul, and also would have high-speed lines serving St. Louis, Kansas City, Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Louisville.
