SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The South Shore Line will be without federal money for a proposed project aimed to hasten the trip between South Bend and Chicago.

South Shore Line officials tell ABC57 that it asked the Federal Railroad Administration to match its own $56 million investment into the realignment project; the Administration reportedly declined.

The project aims to move the South Shore Line station at the South Bend International Airport from the terminal’s east side to its west side.

South Shore Line officials say it will continue to meet with the FRA, as well as explore other means of funding the project.
