Chicago to Quad Cities Passenger Rail Project – Moline, Illinois to Wyanet, Illinois

Various

This project included the design of the replacement railroad track, structures and appurtenances of the existing Iowa Interstate Railroad (IAIS) freight line track from Wyanet, Illinois to Moline, Illinois, a distance of 52 miles, for the future development of the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) express passenger train service from Chicago to The Quad Cities.  The speed of the freight trains on the existing track is limited to about 35 MPH.  The planned speed of the express passenger trains is up to 80 MPH.  This will require extensive upgrades of the bridges, culverts, track and other facilities.

As subconsultant, Reitz & Jens was responsible for geotechnical and water resources engineering for proposed bridges, pipe and box culverts, building foundations, pavements, new railroad track alignment and retaining walls.
