After more than a decade of quiet around the prospect of restoring Amtrak’s Pioneer passenger rail line through Pocatello and parts of the Northwest, talks are regaining steam as lawmakers and local officials daydream about what it would mean for East Idaho if the proposal ever left the station. The train route, which once carried passengers from Salt Lake City through southern Idaho, with stops in Pocatello, Boise, Nampa and other Idaho cities, to Portland, could offer new jobs, increased tourism near stations and a more environmentally friendly way to travel across the region. ... The Pioneer line was discontinued in 1997 for low ridership after government funding to Amtrak was cut, but calls for its return are not new and have been simmering for years. They started in the early 2000s in an effort that eventually fizzled out, and they’ve now resurfaced in response to a list Amtrak recently released of its railroad project priorities that excludes large swaths of the Northwest.

A performer at former President Barack Obama’s birthday party managed to take stealth pictures of the opulent Martha’s Vineyard event and share them with Instagram followers. Rapper Trap Beckham and manager TJ Chapman discreetly snapped pics of the event’s high-end food, drink and swag offerings and talked to their followers as the party unfolded, according to screenshots of the posts, which were later deleted under the event’s photography ban.
