Re: Freight Rail News and Happenings
Canadian Pacific has extended an offer to buy Norfolk Southern for $28 billion, though it's hard to say whether NS will be amenable to the takeover. If this happens, I suspect CP's United States headquarters could move away from Minneapolis. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-11-17/canadia...

Re: Southwest Corridor (Green Line Extension)
I'm newish to the board here, and have been watching this debate in the news and have never found the answer to one question. I've never seen a reason for why relocating the bike path was rejected, does anyone know of a statement of why parties involved were opposed to this option?

Re: Empire Builder
Why is can't Amtrak design a schedule that works? People might use it more if the train wasn't so often delayed.I work on the Empire Builder as a conductor. I'll be happy to answer any questions, so long as I know the answer. ; )
