Regulators delay DM&E IMRL railroad deal
Federal regulators postpone the DM&E purchase of Davenport based IMRL for at least a month to July 26 amid opposition from unions and Iowa officials. The deal would expand DM&E to about 1,125 miles of track across several states with a potential 150 million price tag funded by Toronto Dominion Bank. Opponents seek a fuller review on impacts to jobs and local rail access.
