Supporting Agriculture in the American Heartland
Illinois
Project overview
The proposed project was selected for Project Development, Final Design, and Construction and includes the rehabilitation and improvement of rail infrastructure in Tazewell and Iroquois counties in Illinois and Newton and White counties in Indiana. The project will replace mainline track and turnouts, resurface ten at-grade crossings, install approximately five wayside equipment defect detectors, and improve yard tracks at the East Peoria Yard. The project aligns with the selection criteria by enhancing safety, improving system and service performance, and improving reliability as the project will increase mainline track speed, reduce operational delays, and increase competitiveness and reliability. The Toledo, Peoria, & Western Railway will contribute a 40 percent non-Federal cost share, which may include funding from the Indiana and Illinois Departments of Transportation. This project qualifies for the statutory set-aside for projects in Rural Areas.
