Jackson County Executive Mike Sanders has long coveted the Rock Island line as part of a larger commuter rail plan that he announced years ago, but which stalled amid struggles to acquire lines from several railway companies. The Rock Island line stretches from the Truman Sports Complex to Lee's Summit. It would come near the Katy Trail, spurring visions of a future bicycle trek from the local stadiums to its eastern terminus in St. Louis.
