We fully support the most feasible route, which is the route that ILDOT supports
for AMTRAK passenger rail service from Chicago through Rockford, Freeport,
Galena, Illinois into Dubuque, Iowa.
Further, we ask that the Illinois General Assembly provide the initial funding to
launch this project during the current legislative session. This would allow the
infrastructure improvements to get underway as soon as possible.
Thank you for your consideration.

Roy D. Buol
