## Resource

Amtrak’s $900 million plan to build a massive maintenance yard in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood—right near Rate Field—is sparking outrage and concern. Residents feel blindsided, with Ald. Nicole Lee warning that a 24-hour rail yard doesn’t belong in a residential zone. The proposal could force the White Sox to relocate, a move tied to billionaire Justin Ishbia’s South Loop stadium development—and his $125 million investment in Amtrak. But local leaders are demanding transparency after reports Amtrak may have skipped a federal environmental review, potentially bypassing city zoning rules. The White Sox say they were unaware of the full scope until it was too late. Community voices are rising: this isn’t just about trains—it’s about displacement, accountability, and who gets to decide the future of their neighborhood.
