extending the Amtrak in Maine





More highspeed passenger rail being extended farther into Maine? I'm all for it. Here is a good article I found on MaineBiz.biz about a plan to extend the Downeaster . The story within the story related to Florida giving up the funds for the Tampa-Orlando high speed Rail is something to follow up on too. It seems like all that funding that was available keeps getting turned down. Chris Christie in New Jersey, Rick Scott in Florida, what about the LA to Vegas high speed line idea that I keep hearing about?

WOW a plan to link the

North Station/South Station
acela/downeaster tracks.

that will be 10 years and lots of corruption cooked in it but makes sense to make it happen eventually.
