Iowa is getting a share of new funding for passenger rail equipment. Federal transportation officials announced plansyesterday for $268 million for the purchase of rail cars and locomotives in corridors in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Michigan and Wisconsin. Officials are hoping folks will see that passenger trains are a viable, convenient travel alternative. It's still being decided exactly how much money goes to each state. Officials then will direct how the money should be spent.
