On April 10, 2014, a new plan for Amtrak service that would terminate in Rockford was released after the IDOT was unable to negotiate a deal with the Canadian National Railway, who owns the tracks the old proposal was going to use. IDOT will continue to work with the CN to eventually get the route extended to its planned terminus of Dubuque, IA. The new proposal would use a route along former Milwaukee Road and Chicago & North Western tracks through downtown Elgin, Huntley, and Belvidere before terminating in Rockford.
