At our meeting last week our club was treated to a
great program about the possibilities of getting a
high-speed rail system built in Illinois. Nicolai
Schousboe and Madeline Grennan provided us
a great deal of data on how the system would work,
where it may be feasible to operate, and the comparative costs to other transportation options.
