[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vincent206: [QB] That is a nice looking car. It looks like the seats have been aligned with the windows, too. I hope there is some nice scenery along the way. It's nice to see that IN can find $3mil/year for train service. In 2010, WI rejected the Talgos because they would have cost [URL=http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/111686184.html]$7.5mil annually to subsidize.[/URL] [QUOTE]Although Wisconsin's federal allocation would have covered all construction costs, Walker said he didn't want state taxpayers to pick up $7.5 million a year in operating costs, after subtracting fare revenue. Revised ridership and cost estimates could have reduced taxpayers' share by $2.8 million or more, and the state could have used federal aid to cover as much as 90% of the taxpayer share, as it does on the Milwaukee-to-Chicago leg.
