The Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) is offering this grant through its Rail Line Relocation Program. This grant is for the purpose of providing essential financial assistance to communities across Illinois. These communities have been significantly impacted by the Canadian National Railway Company’s (CN) acquisition of the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway (EJE). The primary goal of these funds is to mitigate the adverse consequences resulting from the subsequent increase in train traffic on the EJE lines. Projects funded will focus on reducing disruptions, enhancing safety at railroad-highway grade crossings, and supporting necessary rail line adjustments. This initiative aims to alleviate burdens on local residents and ensure a more harmonious coexistence with the heightened rail activity.
