AT THE BASE OF CAPITOL HILL. The proposed faster train service from Chicago to the Twin Cities via Madison envisioned a Madison station near the airport, which would be a weak location for a station if the service gets provided in increments, with Chicago to Madison being set up first. The latest revision to the proposal has trains terminating near the Monona Terrace complex. (Underground parking that close to a lake??) Isthmus columnist Marc Eisen (via Political Environment) sees the rail corridor as providing greater prosperity on the east side of Madison. Ultimately, though, a single train line linking Chicago with the Twin Cities and throwing in a reversal of direction in Madison is, in chasing two hares, going to catch neither.
