If it actually WENT somewhere, then we'd be looking at something cool. But who's holding their breathe that the expansion is going to happen....and have the dollars to do it? Give me a Heartland that i can ride to Chicago, well then we've got a deal.
My family rode the train from OKC to Chicago and back many times in the early 60's. As a 8-10 year old kid it was a fun trip. Walking from car to car, riding in the observation car with the glass windows on top.
