Let's not forget the total lack of service on weekends. Would a connection to the UP-NW line at Deval westbound to Cumberland provide more feed? There's barely room right at Deval, but it's not impossible. Sounds doable, but I don't think it's going to generate that much more traffic from the N/NW ...

What level of service would put this on the mental map of O'Hare travelers? Are there specific runs that could serve O'Hare workers based on predominant shift start and end-times? Should Galewood be added to the North Central, given the likelihood that Oak Park has a disproportionate number of air ...

Does this itinerary seem feasible? I'm not sure how long the walk between Union Station and Millennium Station will take, plus the time to buy the multiple tickets for the IC electric service. Union Station and Millennium station are just over a mile apart, and even if you're able to walk briskly, ...

According to my copy of UP's Wichita Service unit track profile, this would be UP's Enid subdivision. I'll have to dig a little more, but I believe this is a former Rock Island property...

Might take a little longer than that. The entire delivery from Waybill to Rochester takes about 3-4 weeks. The BRC is super slow in Chicago so it’ll probably sit around a whole lot there. Ain't necessarily so. Most class 1's coming through Chicago have other locations for transfers and hand offs th...

1061 update from suburban Chicago: Continuing its journey east 4th out behind two CN units, and UP leader 6837 on a short manifest towards a CSX connection in Chicago via the IHB railroad. I'd look for it in Boston early next week...
