IDOT confirms that Amtrak route will go through Belvidere | Daily Chronicle

Although Genoa officials have not been officially notified, a passenger rail line will run through Belvidere instead of Genoa, a state spokeswoman said Friday.

Amtrak feasibility report determined the Union Pacific line (Belvidere) would cost $43.8 million and the Canadian National line (Genoa) would cost $32.3 million in capital expenditures. The latter option also would have more riders and more revenue, yet also more annual operating expenses, according to the report.
