Last week Amtrak began using a 15 mile section of track north of Bloomington Illinois on which trains will run 110 miles per hour which means a faster trip to Chicago from St. Louis. In the next 3 years the company hopes to have 75 percent of the track up to high speed. This is very cool.

Michigan 2005
- In August of 2005 we spent a week at Camp Arcadia on the shores of Lake Michigan's Northern lower peninsula. Here is our story.
Dedicating Wartburg
- Wartburg Hall's transformation from dining hall to a commons area was dedicated on September 18.
Good to see updates to the track to make the roadbed safer. Calling this a high speed train is a reach.
The train will still have to travel the Alton to St. Louis track at a speed of about 15 to 20 miles per hour.
