Jul. 27--A $32.7 million federal loan is expected to help the Iowa Interstate Railroad improve service to rural areas that rely on trains to ship corn, soybeans, steel, chemicals and other products to market.

The Federal Railroad Administration loan will be used for track improvements so the railroad can handle heavier freight cars.

The Iowa Interstate Railroad operates a 571-mile line between Council Bluffs and Chicago.
