Rail Transportation
|
|
The region is served by one Class I, the BNSF, and two Class II railroads, the Iowa Interstate and newly-formed Iowa, Chicago and Eastern Railroad (IC&E). New rail-served intermodal facilities are currently being planned or underway in Silvis, Rochelle and Joliet, Illinois, (within 100 miles of the region). These new terminals will, in effect, reposition the region closer to the center of North American intermodal traffic that provides service to all North American markets and east and west coast ports
