    I believe it and proud to have been a contributor!Rode several trains in the midwest this year in Illinois and Michigan. The later just bought the old Michigan Central line between Ypsilanti and Kalamazoo and Norflok Southern is working on the tracks to upgrade the line to 100 MPH operation; thanks to a most cooperative bipartisan effort that did not hear much of a wimper of protest! Over 90% of the legisltors voted in favor of it, and the governor's office immediately signed it into law.
