  • Amtrak Chicago Area Update
    Amtrak Chicago Area Update Amtrak will operate modified schedules for Chicago Hub Services on Tuesday, Jan. 28, following conversations with freight railroads that host Amtrak trains to and from Chicago and in consultation with state transportation departments that sponsor the services. These cancelations are designed to maintain service on most routes while reducing exposure of Amtrak passengers, crews and rail equipment to extreme weather conditions. Passengers are urged to heed the warnings of local officials to use caution making their way to and from stations and to expect delays in bitter cold, gusty winds and blowing snow. A range of tools - including Amtrak.com, smartphone apps and calls to 800-USA-RAIL - are available to assist in travel planning and to provide train status information. The following Amtrak Chicago Hub Services will not be available on Tuesday, Jan. 28: Lincoln Service Trains 300, 301, 306 & 307 are canceled. (Trains 302, 303, 304 & 305 and Trains 21/321 & 22/322 will maintain service on the Chicago-St. Louis corridor) Hiawatha Service Trains 329, 332, 333, 336, 337 & 340 are canceled.

  • Rivalry, Resignation, and Regionalization the Relationship of Milwaukee to Chicago Over Time
    Rivalry, Resignation, and Regionalization The Relationship of Milwaukee to Chicago Over Time by John Gurda When you fly into Milwaukee from the south—say, from Atlanta or perhaps Charlotte—the prescribed route takes you straight up the spine of Lake Michigan. If you’re flying at night and lucky enough to have a window seat, the leading edge of Chicagoland appears long before you reach the lake. Somewhere over Indiana, the small towns and scattered farmsteads give way to the continuous Halloween glare of sodium-vapor lights shining up from subdivisions, shopping malls, and highways. The glare intensifies through the Loop, which from 30,000 feet bears an odd resemblance to Legoland, and extends well into Lake County. Then a distinctive rhythm emerges: bands of relative darkness broken by pools of orange light in Kenosha, Racine, and the sprawling terminal cluster of Milwaukee. Beyond are only the randomly placed lights of rural Wisconsin set against the absolute darkness of the lake. What you don’t see from your window seat is borders. The foot of Lake Michigan appears as a gently curving necklace of four or five major settlements—grossly unequal in size but all distinct and each projecting its particular presence to the heavens. If you had been able to take the same flight a century ago, in the early decades of electric lighting, the glare would have been a soft incandescent glow, barely perceptible from cruising altitude. The settlements would have been more distinct and the gaps between them much more pronounced. If you could take the same flight a century from now, the gaps, I’m sure, would be all but gone.

    RoadJ A S ON THE OLYMPIAN HIAWATHA AND ON THE TWIN CITIES HIAWATHAS It's long, luxurious and all yours. Everyone aboard the Hiawathas is cordially invited to come up into the Super Dome for a brand new outlook over some of our country's most delightful scenery. What is your pleosure-a soft drink, a sandwich, a cocktail? Nome it ond it's yours in the delightful Cafe Lounge. Placed on the lower deck of the Super Dome car, this room is well below normal floor level. Since the 1935 inaugural run of the first Twin Cities HIAWATHA between Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul-Minneapolis, these Milwaukee Road speed­ liners have consistently ranked among America's favorite traips. The Hiawatha fleet has grown in numbers and has been improved again and again. All of these trains are outstanding in offering the general qualities of speed, smoothness, silence and beauty that help make travel delightful. With scores of engineering innovations to their credit, the Hiawathas have also pioneered significant advances in car design. Among these-and still unique features of Milwaukee Road Speedliners-are glass-enclosed Sky­ top Lounges, and the exclusive Touralux sleepers that combine berth comfort and privacy with lower cost. Beginning with the 1st of January 1953, the Olympian HIAWATHA and the Twin Cities HIAWATHAS are again presenting something brand new, different and delightful-the Super Dome cars pictured and described for you in this brochure. Giant electric locomotives are used for 656 mountain miles. Almost entirely enclosed in glass and rising 15}/z famous Dells, the "driftless area" with its rocky feet above the rails, the Super Dome is a glorious outcrops, the palisaded valley of the mighty observation point.

Ottawa Street P.O. Box 30050 Lansing, Michigan 48909 1. INTRODUCTION The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) on behalf of the Midwest States (inclusive of Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, and Wisconsin), requests all potential proposers to review and provide comments on the following Request for Information (RFI). The Midwest States seek a Fleet Maintenance Contractor (Contractor) to execute the maintenance of a new Midwest Next Generation Equipment Pool that will begin coming online on Midwest rail corridors in the fall of 2016. This new Midwest Next Generation Equipment Pool will include at least 21 new locomotives and 88 new bi-level railcars, with the probable addition of 34 more bi-level cars if options are exercised with the manufacturers Nippon Sharyo USA and Siemens USA. Nippon Sharyo USA is currently manufacturing bi-level railcars in its Rochelle, Illinois facility and Siemens USA will be manufacturing locomotives in its Sacramento, California facility. Through a cooperative grant agreement, the Midwest States, along with California and Washington, are jointly procuring new bi-level railcars and locomotives. The entire Midwest Next Generation Equipment Pool is being purchased with grant funding from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is leading the oversight of the locomotive procurement while the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is leading the oversight of the bi-level railcar procurement. Prior to releasing a formal Request for Proposal (RFP), MDOT, on behalf of the Midwest States, aims to solicit industry ideas on concepts for maintenance of the Midwest Next Generation Equipment Pool which is outlined below after a short review of the background and purpose of this effort.
