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, 
 Ewout - the Netherlands
