(Washington, DC) — Illinois‘ senior U.S. Senator says he wants more federal help for the Chicago-to-southern-Illinois train line. Senator Dick Durbin yesterday wrote a letter to the Federal Railroad Administration asking regulators to look at the freight trains on the tracks between Chicago and Carbondale. Durbin says the freight traffic consistently delays the Amtrak trains that run from Chicago to Champaign and down to Carbondale. Durbin says the Illini and Saluki trains have one of the worst on-time records in America.
