Bridgeport Residents Rally Against Amtrak Yard, Fearing Sox Relocation

Bridgeport residents at a public meeting criticized Amtrak’s plan to relocate its Midwest maintenance facility from the South Loop to a new yard beside the White Sox stadium, warning about pollution, noise and traffic; the $900 million project is funded with federal grants and private backing from Justin Ishbia, and it has sparked speculation about a possible White Sox move from Bridgeport, though officials say a direct link is not guaranteed.
