===========

Train supporters in Wisconsin aren't the only ones hoping Gov.-elect Scott Walker changes his mind to kill the proposed rail link between Madison and Milwaukee.

If Walker turns away $810 million in federal stimulus money to pay for rail service, it is unlikely Minnesota would see its largest metropolitan area connected to the proposed nine-state Midwest rail line anytime soon.

But The Capital Times reports that Minnesota is still planning a series of meetings in Wisconsin and Minnesota. State officials want to obtain information for an environmental impact study on the roughly a dozen proposed rail routes between the Twin Cities and Chicago via Milwaukee.
