I would say, Speed & Cost. Faster & Cheaper via E. Dubuque then getting lost in the maze that is Chicago.
I would have thought that Galena Junction would be use for interchange traffic, too.

Fred,
This is actually great for me since I have an excuse now for a couple of these cars. I'm not complaining, but that seems a pretty roundabout routing vs. sen ding the cars to Chicago and then out to Carol Stream (which is pretty close to Napierville). My guess
is that this was the easiest way to get the cars quickly to the CGW vs. interchanging in Chicago. Just one interchange in East Dubuque vs. perhaps multiples in Chicago. Can anyone elaborate on this and whether there was any other regular traffic for the CGW
that might have also followed the same routing to East Dubuque?
