Common sense is to improve the Empire Builder Route for high speed rail. It is the preferred route in the initial Midwest High Speed Rail report, and has been the preferred route over decades of time. Using the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act money to help in funding makes this a time sensitive issue. I've used the Amtrak system, and found the comfort and freedom to work as I travel a rewarding experience. I can see business people adopting high speed rail from Chicago to Minneapolis, and points in between, as an alternative to daring the road in less than desireable conditions, or expenses of flying. Looking forward to the new experience of riding high speed out of La Crosse

The Empire Builder Route should be selected as the designated route for High Speed Rail as this route features the lowest cost approach with the highest chances for operational success. In current economic times, its important to build on the successful base we already have. No single Amtrak Route is currently as successful as the Empire Builder in terms of financial performance and ridership. To me, the choice is simple.
