"Congressman Kirk remains a long-time supporter of Amtrak," reads one sentence on Mark Kirk's Senate campaign website, "and supports efforts to bring high-speed rail to Illinois." I guess that explains why he voted against the stimulus bill last year, which included $8 billion in high-speed rail funding, and in favor of an unsuccessful amendment to strip $4 billion in HSR funding from a broader transportation and housing bill.
