The ribbon cutting at the new and beautiful intermodal "Uptown Station" in Normal, Il. today was very special. The second busiest train station in Illinois showed their faith in Amtrak's future by building a state of the art transportation center to serve the area with Amtrak, Trailway bus, and city bus service. With High Speed Rail from Chicago to St. Louis just around the corner in Illinois this new station will only enhance rail travel for our state. The festive occassion was highlighted with an appearence by Sen. Richard Durbin, Sect of Trans. Ray LaHood, Amtrak Board Chairman Tom Carper, and the 40th Anniversary Train. To all who made this project possible, thank you for a tremendous job well done!
