Excerpt: The Chicago Hub Network is a collection of proposed fast conventional and high-speed rail lines in the Midwestern United States including 3,000 miles (5,000 km) of track. Since the 1990s, there have been multiple proposals to improve the links from Chicago, Illinois to major destinations including Indianapolis, Indiana , Detroit, Michigan , Cleveland, Ohio , Kansas City, Missouri , St. Louis, Missouri , Cincinnati, Ohio , Louisville, Kentucky , Milwaukee, Wisconsin , and Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota . In addition, lines would connect through to major cities in Canada . Eastern routes would blend into the Ohio Hub network. In addition to providing better connections between Midwestern cities, the projects are intended to reduce or eliminate the operating subsidies that American passenger train routes currently require.If implemented, the plans could return Chicago to a status it had in the 1930s and 1940s, when some of the fastest trains in the world like the Twin Cities 400 and Hiawatha were based in the city. Chicago has remained a major hub for Amtrak , with 15 lines terminating at Chicago Union Station . Most existing passenger trains in the region only operate at speeds of about 55 to 80 miles per hour (89 to 130 km/h), although a few go faster. The various plans have suggested speeds ranging from 110 to 220 miles per hour (180 to 350 km/h) for the core routes, as well as improved speeds for secondary routes.Early studies and ISTEA corridors Renewed interest in high-speed rail occurred by the year 1990 when the MinnesotaWisconsinIllinois Tri-State Rail Study was underway.
