This project includes track improvements along a segment of the Union Pacific (UPRR) rail line from just north of Alton to just south of Springfield, and just north of Springfield to just south of Lincoln.

Upgrades through Springfield will not take place at this time. A study is currently underway to determine the best route through that area.

Fast Facts:

• Temporary service changes will be posted at stations and will be displayed as part of the booking process on www.amtrak.com
• Work crews began in Godfrey and will proceed north.
