The big issue in the Midwest is the high frequency of grade crossings. The 15 year signaling upgrade on the Amtrak Michigan Line has been primarily about grade crossing safety . Of course the PRR was running trains upwards of 100mph between Crestline and Chicago prior to 1948 so it would be actually a restoration of high speed service. |
