Posted by Jackson Park B Train on Sun Dec 17 14:04:03 2017, in response to Re: RPA: The Fourth Regional Plan: Create a fully integrated, regional transit system, posted by Joe V on Sun Dec 17 07:50:16 2017. I would not describe MED/NICTD as being much like San Jose.Randolph Street was built to handle far better service than currently operated by either MED or NICTD. As to foreign country, the actual trackage from Kensington to the Indiana line was (IINM is still) owned by IC (now MED). Several decades ago when South Shore Line was short of equipment, Metra operated diesel powered bi-level trains as far as Hegewisch. The situation in San Jose is more like Union Station in DC. Caltrain owns the station and operate both to and through. ACE is a guest, as is Amtrak in the form of the Coast Starlight, and the Capitol Corridor though operated by Amtrak on contract could just as well be considered a separate entity as they are managed by BART on behalf of a "joint powers authority". |
