Terms of the track-usage and service partnership between the South Shore Line and Metra have been firmed up through 2024 in an agreement approved Wednesday by the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District Board of Trustees.
The new agreement, replacing one that expired at the end of 2016, takes into account the 26 additional trains the South Shore will run when its West Lake Corridor and double-tracking projects are completed.

This is the latest installment in a trackage rights agreement that dates back to at least 1926. I'm not holding my breath on the West Lake line since that will involve re-installing a fair amount of trackage on the former Monon right of way.
