Unsourced

Milwaukee commuters never received modern bilevel railcars or push-pull equipment like the railroad's suburban lines radiating from Chicago Union Station

I think this is likely true, but it looks like an interpretation of another source that doesn't make the comparison. Viriditas (talk) 22:53, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The KRM regional rail project plans to introduce rail to new communities south of Milwaukee, connecting with Chicago's Metra system at Kenosha station.

I'm fairly certain this is sourced in the Kenosha station article, but it is somewhat crystal ball-y and doesn't mention the Cannonball. No strong feelings on this, so leaving it here for now in case someone wants to salvage it. Viriditas (talk) 22:58, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
