Abstract:Five Seasons Transportation & Parking (FSTP) and the Johnson County Council of
Governments (JCCOG) are interested in evaluating the feasibility of prospective passenger rail
service(s) that would operate over existing trackage of the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City Railway
Company (CRANDIC), seen below left, and/or the Iowa Interstate Railroad System (IAIS), seen
below right, connecting Cedar Rapids, Iowa City and the Amana Colonies. To perform the
study, FSTP and JCCOG selected R.L. Banks & Associates, Inc. (RLBA) as Prime Contractors,
HNTB Corporation (HNTB) and Snyder & Associates, Inc. (Snyder) as Subcontractors, hereafter
Consultant Team. Both railroads participated in the study and contributed time and resources,
as did many local government and civic organizations. The purpose of the study is to determine
whether it is feasible to establish regularly scheduled passenger rail service and/or special
event excursion rail
service, in conjunction with
the Five Seasons Transit
system, Iowa City Transit,
East Central Iowa Transit,
Coralville Transit and the
University of Iowa
CAMBUS.
