Law360, New York (May 04, 2012, 8:19 PM ET) -- The U.S. Department of Transportation is joining forces with Illinois, Indiana and Michigan to move forward on a $4 million study that will look at how to reduce rail congestion along the Chicago-to-Detroit high-speed rail corridor, the DOT said Friday.
The study, which is being funded by a $3.2 million grant from the Federal Railroad Administration and $200,000 each from the three states and Norfolk Southern Corp., will also focus on how to let trains move faster along the corridor.
