Re: Amtrak Empire Builder and TCMC
Counter-video response from a really well respected train nerd, Alan Fisher. Kinda connects both sides here,

Re: Amtrak Empire Builder and TCMC
I saved the video from their site years ago and archived it onto Youtube.The Ziprail thing was very funny.

Re: Amtrak Empire Builder and TCMC
Or if its investors weren't dark money frauds, but let's brush past that part. We aren't truly starting from scratch, we've done this before. 110 mph would be fine. Definitely nothing less than that for a loooong range train. The healthy network of lower medium speed trains are only really there due...

Re: Amtrak Empire Builder and TCMC
150 mph is what Acela hits. It's also what numerous trains in Europe/Asia and soon to be Africa are managing to already consistently do. MSP to KC is some of the flattest land in the county. We can't have trains go those speeds in 2035? We're getting screwed over pretty hard in this country by our s...

Re: Amtrak Empire Builder and TCMC
KC is becoming an epicenter of industrial jobs and distribution. We either start more flights there, or get some tracks blasting down 35.
150 mph averages over 450 miles sounds like a dream. About 4 hours of rail travel is way better than a 2 hour flight with security theater.

Re: Amtrak Empire Builder and TCMC
And a lot of these seem to hinge on MSP being the second Chicago of the midwest and having just as much pull, which sad to say will never happen, even with some people starting rumors of massive mega projects... In terms of the Midwest, we already are on pace to become that. We're the fastest growi...

Re: Amtrak Empire Builder and TCMC
Amazing how lines that used to run multiple times daily are now just fantasy. Especially with Gen Z hating driving more than any other generation in the past 50 years. But that's fine, we can keep living in denial while other countries kick ass in rail infrastructure.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis - News & General Topics
I think we can drop this whole idea "we're never getting rid of the convention hotel" guys. I get it, I was wrong, we can stop piling on. About 10 of you have said it so far.
We can agree it has horrible street frontage! Thanks.

I wouldn't mind seeing the conference portion of this demolished. No idea who's going around buying hotel+conference models right now.

I'm sorry, but this is day 1 of the route. It will likely get better. Also mice, turds and trash is my new metal band name.

Re: Uptown-LynLake-Wedge - News & General Topics
Bulldog and CC Club were packed :) Lyn-Lake was super busy from friends I heard from that went down there afterwards. I'm okay with Lake/Hennepin reinventing itself. Uptown Arts & Rec looks super fun, and I can't wait to check it out. Something is definitely brewing for the old Uptown Tavern spa...
