Amtrak's Chicago-St. Louis Route Approved for 110 mph Speeds.
TL;DR Summary
Amtrak's St. Louis-to-Chicago route began running most daily trains at speeds of up to 110 mph after a four-year delay due to GPS-related safety technology installation and testing. The passenger rail line plans to operate with the new speeds for several weeks before changing schedules based on the old 90 mph maximum. The upgrade of the St. Louis-to-Chicago Amtrak corridor was largely finished in 2017, funded by economic stimulus money allotted in the Obama administration.
