Amtrak reported FRA awards of up to $572M and $87M for Chicago rail infrastructure, including a Midwest maintenance facility and bridge/viaduct repairs. The release includes Quigley stating the grant will address rail disrepair he had raised for years and that he would keep working to bring home funding.
Assessments
Quigley directly supported and submitted multiple Community Project Funding requests for IL-05 infrastructure and public works projects, and the FY2026 list shows committee-approved funding for numerous local projects. Additional federal infrastructure advocacy is supported by the Amtrak/FRA grant announcement tying him to Chicago-area rail funding. Because these actions and approvals occurred while he remained in federal office, the promise is fulfilled in the same term.
