Thanks for the correction earlier. <br /> <br />There are lots of "plans" for Metra out towards Rockford, but nothing solid that i know of. <br /> <br />http://www.ci.belvidere.il.us/metra.htm <br />http://www.cityofmarengo.com/comp_plan/11A_0003.PDF <br /> <br />Using the old CNW line would make for a long ride from Rockford though the intermediate towns would like it. <br />Amtrak did operate the Black Hawk from Dubuque to Chicago on the old IC line during the mid to late 70's. <br />A better route for Rockford would be the old Milw from Elgin to Genoa, and then the old IC from Genoa to Rockford with a station on the Southeast side around Alpine or Perryville Rds.
