        【時報訊】美國聯邦交通部上週宣佈第二階段全國高速鐵路網大計劃,包括二億三千萬元芝加哥到愛俄華城及一億六千一百萬元芝加哥到底特律高速鐵路。屆時,由聖路易到芝加哥到底特律一氣呵成,將使得美中西區交通網大為改觀。

        美國聯邦第一階段高速鐵路經費在去年(2009)春天宣佈,總值一億二千萬元用在聖路易、芝加哥間之高速鐵路,將原本五小時之火車車程將減為三小時。

        據了解,高速火車時速可由79哩提高到110哩,由芝加哥到底特律之火車來回車班,可由每天三班增至六班,由於航空機票太貴,這條火車路線去年乘客容量已增加8%。

        High-Speed Service To Detroit, St. Louis On Track For 2013

        By 2013, Chicagoans traveling to Detroit, St. Louis or Iowa City may be able to save time by leaving the car at home and taking the train. The U.S. Department of Transportation last week announced a second round of high-speed rail investment, including $230 million to create a new intercity passenger rail service between Iowa City and Chicago and $161 million for a high-speed corridor between Detroit and Chicago.
