Midwest
High Speed Rail Association honors transportation leaders of Illinois  The Midwest High Speed
Rail Association presented a well deserved recognition to Senator Martin
Sandoval (D-12) and to Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn. Since its inception,
the High Speed Rail project for the Midwest has been championed by Senator
Sandoval, Chairman of the Illinois Senate Transportation Committee and
by Governor Quinn (pictured at center). Under MHSRA plan, 220-mph express
trains will offer 2.5 hour trips (often less) between major cities,
110-mph regional trains would connect smaller cities and towns. Also pictured at left Rick Harnish, Executive Director Midwest High Speed
