Did Michigan fund their share too? Is the purpose of the upgrades between Kalamazoo and Battle Creek to raise max speeds to 110 mph, or maintain 79 mph to prevent downgrading the max speeds on these tracks to 60 mph? The piecemeal funding for this line makes it difficult to find the truth; one appropriation suggests one answer, another suggests a different answer.
