[QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [QB] The saga continues: [URL=http://www.jconline.com/story/news/2015/01/14/truitt-bill-fund-indiana-amtrak-service/21774061/]Indiana funding Hoosier State[/URL] This comment was especially surprising: "Gov. Mike Pence’s spending recommendation contains language similar to Truitt’s bill, but goes one step further. In addition to funding the service, Pence’s plan authorizes INDOT to purchase rail equipment." But the fundamental problem remains: The Hoosier State/Cardinal takes about 5 hours to go the 196 miles at an average speed of 39mph. 60 years ago NYC's James Whitcomb Riley took 3.5 hours averaging about 55 mph. Google says you can drive it in 3 hours. Given the traffic problems, I'll take the Riley, but not the Hoosier State. [/QB][/QUOTE]
