This #ThinkTrainWeek, the CREATE Program is joining our partners to promote safe choices around railroad tracks and crossings. Stay alert, obey all signs and signals, and never try to beat a train. #TogetherForSafety #SeeTracksThinkTrain #RailSafety

Ground broken on the 71st St. Grade Separation in Chicago. With a @CSX freight train through every few hours, GS19 lowers 71st Street beneath the line so the community no longer stops for passing trains. Less congestion, safer streets for Englewood and Auburn Gresham.

CREATE groundbreaking on Chicago's South Side. State, local, and private-sector partners came together to make the community safer. 11,500 vehicles and 32 freight trains cross Columbus Ave daily. GS11 fixes a "911 Critical Crossing." createprogram.org

As America 250 celebrations continue, we're reflecting on the infrastructure that keeps commerce moving. CREATE helps reduce congestion, improve safety, and keeps people and goods moving more efficiently throughout the nation. #America250 #CREATEProgram

The CREATE Program gave two presentations at the American Railway Development Association (ARDA) conference this week. We were honored to serve as the opening keynote and to present how the CREATE Program is making a difference in communities.

Partners who keep CREATE moving: @Metra Metra continues to play a key role in advancing CREATE projects, contributing funding to major corridor improvements and supporting ongoing design efforts like the EW2 bridge raise over 79th Street and the Rock Island Connection.

Thanks to the Chicago Railroad Mechanical Association & Chicago Maintenance of Way Association for the opportunity to present on behalf of CREATE. Proud to share progress strengthening one of the nation’s busiest rail hubs and the collaboration driving it forward. #CREATEProgram

Spring Surge is here and rail is moving with it. From March to May, rising demand tightens capacity and puts pressure on supply chains. Reliable, efficient freight rail matters more than ever. #CREATEProgram #SpringSurge

The CREATE Program gets featured on the latest Geoffrey Baer special, Riding The Rails. Tune in to WTTW Chicago tonight at 7 or 8:30 pm to learn about the history of rail in Chicago and to learn more about our Program.

Everyone’s focused on upsets, buzzer-beaters, and bracket chaos. Here in Chicago, rail is quietly running a perfect season. Thanks to CREATE, trains move more efficiently, bottlenecks are reduced, and goods get where they need to go faster. #CREATEProgram #MarchMadness

Program partners traveled to DC this week to discuss one of the nation's most critical supply chain assets, the CREATE Program. Together, the partnership is advancing coordinated infrastructure projects that keep the national supply chain moving efficiently and reliably.

Partners who keep CREATE moving: @IDOT_Illinois IDOT provides guidance and coordination that moves projects from planning to completion. Their commitment and collaboration are fundamental to the success of the program. #CREATEProgram #IDOT #MovingCREATEForward
