Stalemate over rail trackage rights from Waterloo to Dubuque
Iowa hopes to broker an agreement between Jack Haley owner of Cedar Valley Railroad and John Gohmann owner of Iowa Northern Railroad over trackage rights on Illinois Central Gulf tracks. The Iowa Department of Transportation reports no budge from either side as the Interstate Commerce Commission must decide the rights issue. Haley plans passenger service from Dubuque to Chicago if the sale proceeds, aiming to tap Dubuque tourism potential and start as soon as next summer.
