That's utter nonsense.The Brown and Red lines on the North Side are packed and run every 3 to 5 minutes, more than a "pittance of capacity". There is no way an upgraded UP-North line can pick up the slack, and they don't stop every half mile. You are also on a private Class I railroad, and they are not selling it, and that goes for most Metra Lines. Chicago Crossrail will be shot down by the greater desire to rip down the St Charles Airline for real estate development. Union Station connectivity to the the Loop area sucks becomes of its poor connectivity to CTA. Factor in the time it takes you to get to Union Station to take a commuter train to OHare, and you might as well have taken the Blue Line anywhere along Dearborn Street to OHare to begin with. |
