The rail industry’s recent shift towards larger and heavier railcars has influenced Class III/short line railroad operation and track maintenance costs. Class III railroads earn less than $38.1 million in annual revenue and generally operate first and last leg shipping for their customers. In Kansas, Class III railroads operate approximately 40 percent of the roughly 2,800 miles (4,500 km) of rail; however, due to the current Class III track condition, they move lighter railcars at lower speeds than Class I railroads.

    9/23/15 Working to implement a 21st century passenger rail system by adding the Midwest Regional Rail Initiative network and additional state-supported corridors to the region’s existing passenger rail infrastructure. MIPRC 2015 Annual Meeting September 23, 2015 St. Paul, Minnesota The Status of Passenger Rail Improvements in the Region and Plans for the Future 1 9/23/15 State Reports Illinois Indiana Kansas Michigan Minnesota Missouri North Dakota Wisconsin IDOT Report On Passenger Rail Infrastructure MIPRC September 23‐24, 2015 2 9/23/15 AMTRAK • Operates 56 trains in and through Illinois. • Serves nearly 5 million riders at Illinois stations. • Illinois subsidizes 30 state‐sponsored trains that provide service in 4 regional corridors, with 2 million annual riders. AMTRAK Illinois Amtrak Corridors: • Chicago – Milwaukee (Jointly supported with Wisconsin) • Chicago ‐ St. Louis • Chicago ‐ Quincy • Chicago ‐ Carbondale 3 9/23/15 Illinois HSR Project • The Chicago‐St. Louis High Speed Rail (HSR) Project involves upgrading the existing railroad corridor between Chicago and St. Louis to accommodate passenger train speeds of up to 110 mph. • The project includes reconstruction of main track, new and rebuilt sidings, grade crossing improvements, new fencing, new and rebuilt structures, upgraded stations and installation of Positive Train Control. • Construction activities along the corridor began in 2010 and are scheduled to be largely complete in 2017 (some activities continuing into 2018). Illinois HSR Project • The overall benefits of the project can be summarized as follows: • Overall travel time between Chicago & St. Louis ‐ reduced by 1 hour; • New passenger cars and high efficiency diesel locomotives; • On time performance at 85% and above, compared to the current 75%; • Four quadrant gates, fencing, and related improvements will significantly improve safety at crossings.

Amtrak wants to reopen a line. And that deci- sion will put Newton smack dab in the path of eco- nomic development. That was the message of Ray Lang, who works in communications and government affairs with the passenger rail service. In recent years, the company has been exploring connecting its Heart- land Flier and Southwest Chief by rail. The con- nection would take passenger service through Wichita and end the connector in Newton. “Newton is so important to this,” Lang said. “Ei- PHOTOS BY WENDY NUGENT/NEWTON NOW ther we would crew trains out of Newton or Nevon Demel gives his dad, Sam Demel, a hug on Saturday afternoon at Mojo's Coffee Bar in North Newton. overnight in Newton.
