The EJ&E. The other roads, and even the EJ&E itself, are finally starting to take advantage of the route around Chicago. Hard to believe, but for decades, EJ&E itself was actually against allowing bridge traffic. But with the continued congestion and the expansion of the city, they've finally come around, and are actually building up the system. New outer hubs like Logistics in Joliet will start bypassing the inner city altogether. This is why they've held onto it for so long. But the payoff will be huge. And no, contrary to the rumors that have gone around for decades, nobody is buying it. <br /> <br />Dave <br />-DPD Productions - Home of the TrainTenna RR Monitoring Antenna- <br />http://eje.railfan.net/dpdp/
