New Intermodal Terminal For Cedar Rapids, IA!!!
Posted by Los Angeles Rams Guy on Thursday, July 7, 2016 9:05 PM

Came across a story from the Cedar Rapids Gazette this evening that the Iowa Department of Natural Resources has been awarded a 25.7 million dollar grant to construct an all-purpose intermodal facility on the southwest side of town.  This is something that has been a LONG, long time in coming and certainly one of the more positive developments on the railroad front in eastern Iowa in sometime.
