Leaders in Plymouth and Warsaw are pushing back against an effort to steer a high-speed rail line through South Bend, Elkhart and Goshen instead of those cities farther south.

The Indiana Department of Transportation applied in October for $2.8 billion in federal money to build its portion of a high-speed rail line from Chicago to Cleveland.

InDOT submitted the application with the recommendation that the line pass through Gary, Plymouth, Warsaw and Fort Wayne instead of a northern route through Gary, South Bend, Elkhart and Waterloo.
