The White House - Blog Post - A Vision for High Speed Rail

rail_map_d3 

What we're talking about is a vision for high-speed rail in America.  Imagine boarding a train in the center of a city.  No racing to an airport and across a terminal, no delays, no sitting on the tarmac, no lost luggage, no taking off your shoes.  (Laughter.)  Imagine whisking through towns at speeds over 100 miles an hour, walking only a few steps to public transportation, and ending up just blocks from your destination.  Imagine what a great project that would be to rebuild America.

The problem for us is that we have to get to Downtown Chicago before beginning our trip.

The map does not show that Madison will get high speed rail. Maybe that's close enough to connect to Milwaukee.
