I confirmed Friday that IDOT is doing a new study as a follow-up to its 2007 study, which favored the Canadian National route through Genoa as quicker and cheaper than the Union Pacific line through Belvidere.

“Everybody’s fear is that IDOT could use our lack of consensus as an excuse not to fund the service,” Pritchard said.
