The announcement Monday at Penn Station is part of a $2 billion award going to rail projects in 15 states nationwide. It was money originally awarded to Florida but rescinded after the governor canceled rail plans there. The Northeast's share will be used to upgrade train speeds from 135 mph to 160 mph on critical segments. He says the money will indirectly improve service on other commuter lines by making shared electrical lines and other infrastructure more reliable. LaHood notes the Transportation Department received nearly 100 applications for federal rail money. He says it's evidence the United States is hungry for better rail service.

To: All (#0) Great news - thank you Florida for electing Rick Scott, who's actions have caused your rail money to head to the Northeast instead of creating jobs in Florida. go65  posted on  2011-05-09   11:56:59 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #2.

Scott's own transportation department just released a study indicating the rail line between Tampa and Orlando would have been profitable, and would have created jobs in Florida. go65  posted on  2011-05-09   12:02:18 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #5.

Amtrak is profitable in the NE corridor, where Amtrak loses money is on routes that Congress mandates it maintain. If you want to reform Amtrak, let it actually act as a private company and kill off unprofitable routes. go65  posted on  2011-05-09   12:33:41 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #7. To: go65, Rudgear (#6) Amtrak is profitable in the NE corridor, where Amtrak loses money is on routes that Congress mandates it maintain. If you want to reform Amtrak, let it actually act as a private company and kill off unprofitable routes. It's these rural Red State areas that lose us money. The areas where Palin thinks resemble her idea of America are in actuality welfare zones for Blue State money transfers. I am more than willing to cut these rubes off and let them die on the vine. The free market already designated those areas as no go zones. If the Tennessee Valley was profitable, for example, the private sector would have built an electrical generating damn there but they didn't, If not for the New Deal, all those rube hicks would still be reading (those that could read without Federal education money) by oil lamps.

Yep, hopefully the GOP-controlled house allows Amtrak to stop serving unprofitable routes. go65  posted on  2011-05-09   14:10:52 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #24. To: go65 (#20) Yep, hopefully the GOP-controlled house allows Amtrak to stop serving unprofitable routes. We actually agree with that. But as it relates to new light rail lines...thats reinforcing failure. No thanks. Glad Kasich killed it here in Ohio.

You are one of the few given his approval rating is what, 30% now? http://dispatchpolitics.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2011/01/01/copy/killing-train-kills- private-projects.html?adsec=politics&sid=101 Locally, certain not to happen is construction of a $15 million facility planned for Columbus by US Railcar Co. The plant would have employed up to 200 when fully staffed, said Mike Pracht, president and chief executive officer of the Columbus-based railroad-car manufacturer. ------- The Cleveland developer Forest City Enterprises was planning projects that would create $180 million of taxable property. Dayton, OH anticipated around $250 million worth of downtown development around the rail station and, in Columbus, OH, the rail line “was expected to spur business development” and “provide a link between Downtown and Port Columbus.” But, as Forest City’s spokesman put it, “Clearly, it won’t happen now. It’s a governmental decision.” go65  posted on  2011-05-09   14:48:34 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #26.

We'll see what happens when SB5 is put on a ballot. I suspect it will go down in flames and reaffirm what Kasich is doing here. That, not light rail, is the big deal in Ohio politics these days.
