A Nigerian city purchased two trains intended for a high-speed rail line in Wisconsin more than a decade after the Obama administration doled out $810 million to the state for the project.
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos State, Nigeria, visited Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Wednesday to inspect the trains and announce the purchase, he tweeted. The trains will be used for a metro rail project that is under construction in Lagos, Nigeria’s capital and most populous city.
The article goes on to state the following:
“Today, I inspected our newly acquired Talgo Intra-City Ten Coach metropolitan trains, for our Red Line Metro project in Lagos,” Sanwo-Olu said Wednesday. “These new trains which were originally intended to connect Madison and Milwaukee in the United States, are now headed for Lagos state.”

The 37 km Red Line on completion will traverse eight stations and move passengers from Agbado to Oyingbo. We have completed the acquisition of the trains and ramping up the completion of the ancillary infrastructure like the train stations. (2/3)

are these rejected trains from the US which are now headed to Lagos? Why are the trains not being used as originally intended in the US and now headed to Lagos?

Wonder who is keeping the money from this sale? I bet the federal government won’t see a red cent of it.
Where did the $810 million go? I want a full accounting….then I want Obama to pay it all back to the US Taxpayers.
How much were they sold for?
Obama home state needs a rail system
I was wondering the same thing.
Who pocketed 810 million dollars?
Time for a committee to investigate Obama!
Gosh, so many unanswered questions:
~ Who paid for these?
~ Are there more that were unused?
~ Why wasn’t the project completed in WI?
~ Who was in charge of the project?
~ Who (names!) failed to ensure project completion?
~ How much other money was spent on the project, after the stated $810 million in article?
~ On what items was any money spent?
~ What agency / organization spent any money on this project?
~ Where is the accounting for the entire project?
~ Did any politician or elected official champion this failed project? What do they say now?
Those are all I can think of, just off the cuff.
Probably another Solendra deal
Obama doled out $810 million ??? Of out hard earned money. He was the worst of the worst politicians at wasting taxpayer money. I wonder who he appointed to look after this, where’s the money now, and who profited from the unfinished project.
What happened to the $810 million Obama doled out for this fiasco.
Thanks to Obama, Nigerians will have better transportation than Americans.
Ma as well remove the heaters from the train. Don’t think they will need then in Nigeria. I hear tell it hot there already.
What he didn’t waste he stole. And they tried stealing all the vehicles that they used But were made to give them back Democrats are thieves
And free shipping?
