Camanche received an offer from Canadian Pacific as long as the city closed rail road intersections such as this one at 7th Avenue. The rail company offered $200,000 — $100,000 for each of two intersections closed. Camanche plans to rebuff that offer, saying it's not enough to establish quiet zones in a community with seven crossings.
The promise of a "robust rail network" led to the approval of a train merger that is expected to deliver considerably more train traffic to Davenport and the Iowa Quad-Cities.
