I think Rahm Emanuel needs to aim lower, like "Chicago did not burn to the ground today". -- nm - Mop Feb 9, 15:18
Does that require extra track? -- nm - psilotum Feb 9, 14:52 11
- I honestly don't know how they'd do it. - ty97 Feb 9, 14:54 10
  - more - ty97 Feb 9, 14:56 8
    - looks like there might be a commuter rail right-of-way they could use? -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 9, 14:57 7
      - The blue line terminates under O'Hare. when it comes out of O'Hare, it goes above ground - ty97 Feb 9, 15:04 6
        
        Maybe they could use the Metra tracks since they only run once per hour. -- nm - iSpam Feb 9, 15:10 4
        
        But then train would go to Union Station which is technically not The Loop (though awfully close) -- nm - ty97 Feb 9, 15:23 3
        
        True. But I think most people would be okay with a Union <-.> ORD express train. -- nm - spamlet Feb 9, 15:35
        
        And at least during rush, there's a lot more trains running on those tracks -- nm - ty97 Feb 9, 15:23 1
        
        East of Western? There are three lines running already it looks like and there are express trains I didn't consider. - spamlet Feb 9, 15:39
        
        (doing this off of memory. I can describe better with a map) -- nm - ty97 Feb 9, 15:04
  - Gonna elon musk it and dig a huge tunnel -- nm* - decline Feb 9, 14:55
And some ruling on DOL fiduciary rule that I can't decipher has occurred -- (link) - ty97 Feb 9, 14:48 2
- This is a good thing -- nm - decline Feb 9, 14:51 1
  - I was guessing that "admin didn't get way" probably indicated good but wasn't sure -- nm - ty97 Feb 9, 14:52
