There is a group that has been trying for years to get a new amtrack 
route from Chicago to omaha, stopping in DM and IC.  (Rock Island RR 
track)

It makes so much sense the goobers won't approve it.
Gooberment=wasting your tax dollars in the most inefficient way possible
Gooberment= buying votes with your tax dollars.


Actually, the amtrak is the route of the Burlington (CB&Q) railroad 
California Zephyr.  It is a great route, but not great for going to 
or from Des moines.  The DM stop is Osceola, not Ottumwa.  There are 
regular shuttles between DM and Osceola.

It is actually no further than going from Denver airport to downtown 
denver.  About the same time as going from Ohare to Chicago...  If 
it is all city, beople don't grumble.  If you see a field or a 
pasture in between, people grumble.

Ottumwa also proves why Amtrak is in trouble. When I didn't buy LT. Don's VW we 
decided to maybe go see my friend in Chicago which is about 300 miles from Des 
Moines. The train stops in Ottumwa but theres no good way to get to Ottumwa 
from Des Moines. The only bus arrived in Ottumwa like an hour after the train 
leaves so you have to spend the day... Idiots at Amtrak might pick up some 
people if the train stopped in the BIGGEST CITY IN THE STATE.
Figure if theres one spot that stupid there have to be a hundred...

Cold in these parts tonight, relatively speaking. Supposed to get in the low 
50s tonight, may even dip into high 40s.  Tomorrow night it is supposed to get 
into the 30s.
