What will the Midwest High-Speed Rail Network Look Like?
The Midwest high speed rail network will create reliable 110 mph train service with limited stops between Midwestern cities. Rail lines will connect Minneapolis, Detroit, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and St. Louis with Chicago in a hub-and-spoke network. Modern locomotives, comfortable passenger cars and improved train stations will ensure that the high-speed rail travel experience is comfortable and convenient, as well as fast. While some states are researching European style 220 mph train service, upgrading existing track to 110 mph service will generate the biggest return on investment – creating competitive travel times and attracting large numbers of passengers for a much smaller price tag than higher speed service.
