I understand that their was a plan and mandate to electrify all suburban railroads running out of Chicago in the 1920s. The Illinois Central did electrify. I guess the depression and diesels killed the idea for the other commuter lines. Was their ever a master plan for the electrification of the Burlington suburban service?
