The new train will be faster while connecting more cities.

Train service from Chicago to St. Louis is going to have schedule changes beginning later this month thanks to increased speeds and decreased travel times.

To quote Mr. Spock, "This is illogical." How is it that there has not been train service between Rockford and Chicago since 1981? Thirty-three years? Do people not commute between these two cities? I know the Forest City lost out to Aurora as the second biggest city in Illinois, but still...c'mon!!!!!
