This is from a quick look at google maps, I don't know the transit geography of chicago all that well.

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
