The Ivanhoe Line, between Burton-upon-Trent and Leicester, was closed to passenger trains in the 1960s.
A campaign to restore the 31-mile (50km) route saw it selected as part in the government’s £500m Restoring Your Railway programme.
The East Midlands Chamber said it hoped the project could be brought to life.
The Ivanhoe line has been the focus of numerous campaigns to reopen it since it was closed to passengers following a report written by Dr Richard Beeching.
In June the Campaign for Reopening the Ivanhoe Line (CRIL), saw its project chosen, as one of nine from 39 schemes, to move on to the next stage by the Department for Transport.
Network Rail will now provide funding to conduct a detailed study of the costs of construction and scrutinise the benefits as part of a full outline business case.
If this confirms the line’s viability, it will carry out design work and, subject to Government approval, work could begin in mid-2024 with a 2026 opening date.
