Plans to restore Midwest, Fort Wayne passenger rail system chug along
"Northern Indiana Passenger Rail Association (NIPRA) helped the city secure a $500,000 grant for phase one funding in the project, dubbed the Midwest Connect Passenger Rail Corridor.
The corridor would serve Pittsburgh, Columbus, Fort Wayne, Warsaw, Chicago, and other cities in between. The proposed route would connect a population of 14.7 million, spanning roughly 545 miles."
