Iowa officials voice support for high speed rail plan
Iowa Transportation Commission members backed pursuing a Midwest high speed rail corridor, linking Chicago Davenport and Iowa City to ease I-80 congestion and reduce oil use. The $4.1 billion project would rely largely on federal funding with a 2001 study due for completion, Amtrak would run the service, speeds would reach 110 mph in Illinois and up to 79 mph in Iowa, and track upgrades may be needed for faster trains.
