Talgo Shrugged*

Victory!
Talgo Inc., the Spanish manufacturer of high speed train cars, will abandon its plant in Milwaukee in 2012, according to Nora Friend, a spokeswoman for the company. — Marie Rohde
Governor-elect Scott Walker spoke to reporters Thursday calling the train decision a victory. — J-S photo caption
Governor-elect Walker and his team have told the company they want the train jobs to stay even if there is no train.
* Apologies to @BrewCityBrawler: "Talgo is going Galt."
