Last week METRA issued a notice about a switch replacement project that could result in possible train delays. I believe this involves slip switches at CP Roosevelt. With the number of tracks at this interlocking I'm trying imagine how BNSF or Heritage trains could be held up by more than a few minutes by a track being out of service due to the low speeds and proximity of other interlockings. Am I correct that the delays are very minor?
I believe this is the same area where the LAKE SHORE LIMITED derailed a few months ago, so the switches may be due for replacement.
