More than 150 years ago our ancestors had a convenient, economical way to get back and forth between the Quad-Cities and Chicago that we haven’t had for almost thirty years! It seems a shame that the first train to cross the Mississippi River was right here between Arsenal Island and Davenport, yet while many other locations all across the nation have passenger rail service, we have none
In case you haven’t heard, there’s a possibility we could get passenger rail service back, but it isn’t a done deal yet. That’s where you can help. If our state legislators know that the people who live in our area really want it, they will be more apt to appropriate the needed funds. Those of you who live in the Iowa Quad Cities will be happy to know that there is also interest in stretching the service across Iowa to Omaha.
It’s free and easy to become a supporter. If you have access to a computer, go to www.qcrail.com and click “join” at the top of the home page. No computer? Call (309) 757-5416. “Bring it and we will ride!”
