I wish I were as confident of the EJ&E's becoming a true belt line as you are, Dave. I'm just not seeing what you're seeing. The fundamental problem is that most of the yards are deep inside the EJ&E belt, will not and cannot move outside the belt for good economic reason, and once the traffic is beyond the belt, backtracking isn't going to happen -- not so much because of the added circuit length, but because it would require doubling of capacity on the main lines between the yards and the belt. In the meetings I attend in Chicago, the EJ&E is rarely even mentioned, and the CREATE project essentially doesn't include it. I agree that traffic will grow on the EJ&E, but not by leaps and bounds. There just aren't that many trains that arrive in Chicago that actually go through Chicago, untouched. <br /> <br />OS
