Durbin Breaks Ground for HSR in Illinois
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) joined other dignitaries at a recent ground-breaking event for a rail station in Dwight, IL, about 70 miles southwest of Chicago, that will be part of a future high-speed rail line between Chicago and St. Louis. Illinois DOT has researched the possibility of implementing 110-mph passenger rail service in this corridor for more than 20 years.
"My friends, I believe in Amtrak, so does Illinois and so does America,” Durbin said at the event. “We’re going to invest in it, we’re going to use it and be proud of it.” He also stated his support for a long-term transportation bill.
