My Off Topic

Here are some very interesting pictures of the rise and fall of Fort Wayne's Passenger Rail Service.

Pictures are at the top of the page.

I, for one, think high speed rail is vital to the future success of Fort Wayne.

Great find. Sad that we no longer have that kind of thing here in Fort Wayne. I would travel a lot more especially by train if we still had that kind of thing.

Great find! Here's a link that doesn't require scrolling up (it was tough finding it):

It would be great to be able to take the family on a day trip to Chicago via train. We've stayed overnight in South Bend and taken the South Shore, and man, that was a great, relaxing way to get into Chicago.

There is a group of business men from south dakota wanting to pay for a monorail between indy and chicago. Fort wayne should push for a stop on this.

I don't know if this thing is still alive, but I fixed the broken image links for the photos cited above.
