We're experiencing an exciting time everywhere and especially the USA as we finally try to catch up to the rest of the world. I'm frequently on the Wolverine / Blue Water and I am very pleased with the progress & high speed that you feel between Porter, IN and Kalamazoo, MI. That being said, the Norfolk Southern's recent imposing of speed restrictions from Kalamazoo to Dearborn is a buzzkill and stunts the progress this line has made. UNLESS of course this is going to lead to a sale to the State of Michigan or Amtrak in the near future. Anyone care to speculate as to how long this is going to take? I'd rather see this stretch going at a typical 80-95 mph rather than the 20-30 mph that it now averages. And of course I'm sure it will eventually get bumped up to 110 mph as well. Hope all the safety checks are in place for this to happen.
