ICG Eyes Cedar Rapids Track Move Across Milwaukee Line
Illinois Central Gulf Railroad officials visited Cedar Rapids to study a two mile Milwaukee Road track sale and a connecting spur to join ICG lines. The move follows Milwaukee and Rock Island bankruptcy actions and a Milwaukee service abandonment order. ICG plans would extend from Penick and Ford to downtown Cedar Rapids and connect with the Crandic Railway, potentially boosting competition and easing Fourth Street traffic.
