Anyone have the skinny on this? Chicago to Council Bluffs service has been talked about for years.

From the click-through (below)…

“Passenger numbers are growing in the country and Henry’s company, Railroad Development Corporation (owners of the Iowa Interstate railway) will use battery trains as shuttles into city centres.

“This exciting new venture has huge potential and Henry’s reputation for excellence and his numerous contacts mean it has huge potential over the coming years.

“The first train will be launched in 2021 and RDC will continue to work with Vivarail to order new trains as the market grows.”
