Geoffrey will be speaking about efforts to restore passenger rail service from Fort Wayne west to Chicago and east to Columbus, OH. We are currently working with the Indiana Department of Transportation on the Corridor Identification Program to ask the Federal Railroad Administration to identify this as a possible route to receive federal funds to pay for up to 80% of the cost to make upgrades on existing track to accommodate both freight and passenger trains along this 300-mile route. A feasibility study points out that this is a viable route with stops in downtown Chicago, Gary Regional Airport, Valparaiso, Plymouth, Warsaw, Fort Wayne, Lima, Kenton, Marysville, Columbus downtown, and at John Glenn International Airport.
