State transportation planners who studied multiple options for proposed passenger train service between Phoenix and Tucson are recommending one that would go near Eloy and follow largely existing freight railroad tracks.
The proposed rail system would serve both Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix and downtown Tucson.
A draft environmental impact statement released by the Arizona Department of Transportation last week recommends routing passenger trains generally along existing Union Pacific tracks north of Eloy through Coolidge in Pinal County and along UP tracks and Interstate 10 between Eloy and Tucson.
