How "green", how GREAT, to be able to get on a train and go from B-town-Helmsburg-where-ever-to Indy,French Lick. For work-visits-doctors-entertainment. Why isn't there a bigger "push" for the electric run rails-rather than interstate-road construction,etc.? I'm with you and your wife Curt, while in Europe-years ago-the train was such an efficient,easy way to get almost EVERYWHERE!!!! The U.S. is supposedly so progressive in so many areas-why are we so lacking in "green" commuting???

There's built-in demand, an existing ROW corridor and a "wow factor" that isn't present in the Noblesville to Indy route (ho-hum). Local commuter rail could be stimulated by intercity rail. Why not ride the train to W. Lafayette and/or Bton instead of driving? I wish the MPO would look at a rail line connecting the new airport w/ Union Station using the I-70 ROW.

Your photos of the station are great, very impressive skills. Haven't had time to read the whole series but looking forward to it. I probably would have investigated the site earlier, but the website name was kind of confusing for me. "Street racing" is not something typically associated with good urbanism, but it's certainly a part of the culture in Indianapolis so I understand the attraction.
