Springfield Railroad Corridor Study

Written by Administrator | 23 February 2010

Welcome to the Springfield Railroad Corridor Study web site! The City of Springfield and Sangamon County are sponsoring this study to determine how best to accommodate increasing rail traffic through Springfield. The Illinois Department of Transportation is funding the study.

This study is not the high speed rail project from Chicago, Illinois to St. Louis, Missouri. However, whether or not high speed rail is built, freight traffic through Springfield is expected to increase significantly over the next several years. Thus, the Springfield Railroad Corridor Study will determine the best routes to handle growing freight and passenger rail traffic through the city.

Everything you need to know about the study – its goals, timeline and ways to get involved and give your input – can be found on this web site. Visit often for the latest updates, and/or sign up at Get Involved to receive email updates.
