•What passenger rail in the Midwest could look like :) - These are regional services that would operate up to 125 mph (~200 kph) - All Mainline and High Frequency Services would be electrified at 25 kV 60 Hz AC. All other services would utilize dual-mode trainsets - Rolling Stock - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3282103164 & https://www.amtrak.com/amtrak-airo.html - On-board amenities would include dedicated bike racks, high speed WIFI, and food & beverage services - Lines in Yellow are international routes jointly operated by Amtrak & VIA Rail - Still adding and adjusting lines suggestions always welcome!
