I honestly don't know how they'd do it. - ty97 Feb 9, 14:54 10

  - 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
