Even if Indianapolis has not had anything that could be called "rail passenger service" since the '79 Carter Cuts (sorry, but 5hr CHI-IND - even when it was Daily - "doesn't cut it"), The Carsons, first Momma Julia and then Grandson Andre', have been good to Beech Grove. In fact, their IN-7 was gerrymandered to ensure the facility was included in such.
Even my Educator/Social Worker Indianapolis friends, who have no attachment whatever to the railroad industry, acknowledge that Andre is a good, and safe, Congressman. Even if Amtrak should whack all the LD's to concentrate on the NEC and hold contracts with the several locally funded rail passenger agencies, there would still be deadhead moves (railroad or Amtrak operated, who knows) of equipment to Beech Grove.
Wow, if such were to come to pass, would all the discussion sites, such as here, be alive with postings "Deadhead move of LA Metros coming"?
