The creation of a miniature S.S. Badger that pulls 20 tiny children s boats has been in the works for some time. The Ludington Downtown Development Board incurred the costs for the project, and sold advertising space on the individual boats, with only two more available. The Baby Badger will be giving rides to children in Waterfront Park from 5-6 pm and will be christened as the S.S. Badger comes into port around 6 pm. mjohnson@ssbadger.com Ludington Manitowoc Wisconsin None None Tue, 01 Jul 2008 12:00:00 -0500 None http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Amtrak/am2Copy/News_Release_Page&c=am2Copy&cid=1178294181873&ssid=180 Will Fund New Track Capacity on Busy Cross-state Route Chicago Tue, 01 Jul 2008 12:00:00 -0500 http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Amtrak/am2Copy/News_Release_Page&c=am2Copy&cid=1178294180990&ssid=180 Essay topic: How to celebrate "National Train Day" Empire Builder Hiawatha Illinois Thu, 26 Jun 2008 12:00:00 -0500 http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Amtrak/am2Copy/News_Release_Page&c=am2Copy&cid=1178294179255&ssid=180 Daily Pere Marquette trains are convenient to the Michigan music festival Chicago Thu, 19 Jun 2008 12:00:00 -0500 http://www.lake-express.com/about/news_article.aspx?id=71 None None Milwaukee Wisconsin Muskegon None None Mon, 16 Jun 2008 12:00:00 -0500 None http://www.lake-express.com/about/news_article.aspx?id=73 None None Milwaukee Wisconsin Muskegon None None Mon, 16 Jun 2008 12:00:00 -0500 None http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Amtrak/am2Copy/News_Release_Page&c=am2Copy&cid=1178294174721&ssid=180 Replacement of Track to Affect Chicago-St. Louis Trains; Several Schedules will Change throughout the June 16-24 Period; Texas Eagle Detour Route June 16-18 No Longer Available Chicago Iowa Illinois Sun, 15 Jun 2008 12:00:00 -0500 http://www.lake-express.com/about/news_article.aspx?id=70 None None Green Bay Madison Wisconsin Wisconsin Dells Muskegon Milwaukee None None Thu, 12 Jun 2008 12:00:00 -0500 None http://www.lake-express.com/about/news_article.aspx?id=69 None None Milwaukee Wisconsin Muskegon None None Thu, 12 Jun 2008 12:00:00 -0500 None http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Amtrak/am2Copy/News_Release_Page&c=am2Copy&cid=1178294170209&ssid=180 Enhanced Parlour Cars Debut in Time for Summer Travel Season Empire Builder Tue, 03 Jun 2008 12:00:00 -0500 http://www.ssbadger.com/content.aspx?Page=Press_Commericialtrucks MANITOWOC, Wisc-Flooding in southern Wisconsin has lead to many road closures in the aftermath of last week s storms, making travel extremely difficult.
