Chicago-to-Moline (Quad Cities) Amtrak passenger service, announced October 25, 2010 with $230M in federal funding and a promised 2015 service start. BNSF-owned-track improvements and the Moline station are complete; the Wyanet-Moline segment on Iowa Interstate Railroad-owned track only reached a formal Preliminary Engineering agreement (IAIS/IDOT/BNSF/Amtrak) on September 30, 2024, now under FRA review. As of mid-2026, service has still not started (current target: 2027), and the federal funding underpinning the remaining work was set to expire July 31, 2026, with lawmakers publicly calling for an extension.

Methodology
This page shows confirmed awards only, each linked to its original source. Amounts reflect the award ceiling reported at the time of selection and are not always the final obligated amount. Unsuccessful applications are not public record, so this page makes no win-rate or odds claim — it shows what this organization has won, not what it applied for.
