In order to rebuild the lines will cost a fortune. Why not put a commuter grade line between Iowa city and CR. The downtown CR could use the boom in business offered by game day crowds (besides all a the DUIs) and save the excessive wear and tear on 380 and 965. Gas is costing people a lot more money too, why not invest in something with some return.

My mistake..I guess the train that goes through about 5 o'clock is the one down by 10th St, over by Family Dollar on 1st Ave.

I thought the Union Pacific said they would not allow trains in the Downtown Area between 3&6?
