Well, if you could get from Detroit to Chicago in a couple of hours on a new, clean, high-tech passenger train traveling at a top speed of 110 miles per hour, well, that would be fun, wouldn't it?
That's our vision here in Michigan, and on Monday we'll take another step to turn our vision for high-speed rail in Michigan into a reality.
Back in July, I signed a memorandum of understanding that established a partnership among eight states ? including Illinois, Indiana and Ohio - to work cooperatively to fund the Midwest Corridor. The Midwest Corridor is a high-speed rail plan that's regional and will connect cities throughout the Midwest with frequent, reliable high-speed and conventional intercity rail service. http://www.michigan.gov/documents/gov/Gov211Full_289469_7.mp3
