At your board meeting, was the long sad history of this proposal told in detail as to why, as of now, this "brilliant" idea has gone nowhere? I remember back in the 80's when this was proposed. The most recent being the interim between the last time we talked about rail (1992) and the present build out. At that time we had in our midst the third most powerful person in the United States - Sen. Dan Inouye - and even then when he pitched it the proposal went no where fast. The military does not want anything to impede the Hickam Pearl Harbor area and until the military changes its mind, they have the veto power necessary to kybosh any idea like this. 
But we can ask, I guess. it's like Rep. Tupola asking for access to Kolekole Pass for the residents of Nanakuli and Waianae....
