New Rail Study

[Catt]

Funny thing about AMTRAK,our Pere Marquette which runs from Grand Rapids,MI. to Chicago is one of the most sucessful AMTRAK ops ever and they still keep trying to shut it down.The PM has had a steadily increasing rider base for the last 5 years with no slowdown insite.AMTRAK and the state still want to shut it down.Fortunately the elected officials like their jobs so it stays in business and keeps growing at the rate of one more car a year and two for holidays.
