A hearing Tuesday before the Illinois Commerce Commission concerning an extension of time to finish modifications at the Kankakee Street crossing in Wilmington was heldover to next month.
The UP and the Illinois Department of Transportation are nearly finished with rail and crossing improvements between Chicago and St. Louis that will allow for high speed passenger rail service. A second track is being installed between Joliet and Braceville to allow slower-moving freight trains traveling through the Will County rail hub to pull over and let the passenger trains pass.
