  • Project Description
    Chicago to Quad Cities Passenger Rail Project Grade Crossing Design Illinois DOT - Various Locations Project Description The project provides Program Management along with planning and preliminary engineering services for the Illinois Department of Transportation to implement passenger rail service on the Chicago to Iowa City corridor within the State of Illinois project limits. The Chicago-Iowa City Passenger Rail Service Development Program of Iowa and Illinois will establish passenger rail service between Chicago, the Quad Cities, Illinois and Iowa City, Iowa, 219.5 miles. The service will be hosted by BNSF Railway (BNSF) and Iowa Interstate Railroad (IAIS), and be operated by Amtrak. New stations will be established at Geneseo and Moline, Illinois (serving the Quad Cities); and Iowa City, Iowa. The service will be part of the Midwest Regional Rail Imitative (MWRRI) designated by the Secretary of Transportation as a high-speed rail corridor in 1992. The initial Chicago-Iowa City passenger-train service will consist of two roundtrip trains daily, operating at a maximum speed of 79 mph. Ridership is estimated by Amtrak at 246,800 passengers in the Program’s opening year, and 447,000 passengers per year by 2045. The alignment of the route is suited to high-speed passenger-train operation, and had previously hosted passenger trains exceeded 100-mph. Station access to major traffic sources such as the University of Iowa, and travel patterns are all favorable to high initial ridership. The States envision future increases in maximum speed to 110 mph, increases in frequency of trains, and extension of the service to Omaha, Nebraska.

  • The Rock Island Arsenal and Rock Island in the World Wars
    Western Illinois Historical Review © 2020 Volume XI, Spring 2020 ISSN 2153-1714 ‘Rock Island Needs Machinists’: The Rock Island Arsenal and Rock Island in the World Wars By Jordan Monson Western Illinois University “Availability of workers… was vital to the successful operation of Rock Island Arsenal in the World War, just as it must be in any future military crisis in which the country may become involved.”1 Industries and businesses have a huge impact on the development of a community. No business can be successful without labor provided by communities, and communities rarely grow without the availability of jobs provided by businesses. In this same way, the Rock Island Arsenal has had a huge impact on the surrounding communities of Rock Island, Moline, Davenport, and Bettendorf, collectively known as the Quad Cities. Indeed, in an article published in 2018, Aarik Woods points out that the Rock Island Arsenal is far and away the largest employer in the region, and the economic impact of the Arsenal on the Quad Cities was more than one billion dollars.2 With that large of an economic impact, it is safe to say that the success of the Arsenal and the success of the Quad Cities are tied at the hip. However, the Rock Island Arsenal often goes through extreme variation in production and employment numbers, with “The Arsenal’s employment and production traditionally being cyclical in nature… increasing during national emergencies and declining during peacetime.”3 These mobilization and demobilization patterns of the Arsenal were most pronounced during the period between the first and second world wars.
