GENEVA, Ill. — Union Pacific will hold an open house meeting, offering an update on its Third Main project through the city of Geneva, on Feb. 23 at the Geneva Public Works Department, 1800 South Street. The session will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Work began in September on the project to add a third main line on the only remaining two-track section of the route shared by UP’s freight main west from Chicago and Metra’s UP West commuter operation, an approximately 6-mile stretch between Kress Road in West Chicago and Peck Road in Geneva. The project is expected to be completed in July 2024.

More information is available at a page on the Third Main project on the City of Geneva website, and on a blog updating project activity.
