Did you read the JS article. Walker & Co- not exactly fiscally responsible or operating in good fatih. With a tag of 42 mil plus cost, we might just be looking at 100+ mil and have NO train.
But given how Walker's directed the WEDC, I would expect no less.
From this news report. http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/trainmaker-talgo-sues-gov-walker-wisconsin-cg7gu7j-177369571.htm
"DOT spokeswoman Peg Schmitt ... said the firm had "failed to complete or test the train sets and they do not meet even basic federal standards, such as those required under the Americans with Disabilities Act."
It seems the test results according to this report were successful. http://www.mnn.com/green-tech/transportation/stories/amtrak-promises- high-speed-trains-in-midwest-after-successful-test

And on my Purple WI blog:

Wisconsin's environment imperiled by Scott Walker. Click the photo for more information.

Rather be sued for Millions than on the hook for 100s of millions.
RD- Flip comment. No substance.
