Rich and Loren, thanks for your answers.
Chicago is the centre of railroading in the States I read occasionally. Did
only the Q build a
triple track speedway out of Chicago? And why did they do it? Does it have
something to do
with the line splicing at Aurora in a westbound and northbound line? Or are the
suburbs of
Chicago heavy railroad demanders?
Thanks,
