Get updated on Rock Island Trail progress | Ameren Missouri

Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

The Rock Island Trail project will transform an inactive rail corridor into a beautiful bike path and nature trail. This rail corridor is rich in history, having been built between 1901 and 1905 by a predecessor to the Rock Island Railroad, and is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The project is a collaborative effort between the Department of Natural Resources and Ameren Missouri. The trail will eventually connect with the KATY Trail, creating 457 miles of scenic beauty. When finished, it will reach from the KATY trail to Kansas City, traveling along the Rock Island Rail Line through Missouri towns like Pleasant Hill, Windsor, Owensville and Beaufort.
