[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by CShaveRR</i> <br /><br />In Chicago, WC still gets into town over its own line, which connects with the B&OCT Altenheim Subdivision at Forest Park. The east end of the Altenheim is out of service due to condemned bridges, so the trains head south over the BRC to Clearing. <br /> <br />One WC train gets on the EJ&E at Leithton, and takes the J to Munger, where it heads east on the IC (ex-CC&P) line to Hawthorne Yard. This round-trip probably would be the one that handles through business between WC and other CN components (that's just a guess). <br /> <br />Of course, WC also has direct runs to the UP at Proviso, and possibly to BNSF as well. Anything for the eastern railroads would probably go over the WC/B&OCT/BRC routing mentioned above. <br />[/quote]
