Meeting on CN-EJ&E set
Several U.S. representatives from Illinois will host what they're calling a field hearing Tuesday on the proposed Canadian National purchase of the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway Co.
The hearing - hosted by U.S. Reps. Melissa Bean of Barrington, Judy Biggert of Hinsdale, Bill Foster of Geneva and Don Manzullo of Ogle County, all of whom oppose the deal - is being held to gather input from groups like IDOT, Metra and affected towns.
Feedback from Tuesday's meeting will be submitted to the federal government for consideration for the final environmental impact statement of the proposed purchase. A draft was released last week.
The hearing is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Tuesday in Room 2525 of the Dirksen Federal Building in Chicago.
