I'm not familiar with the entire length of the J, but between Elgin and Joliet there aren't a lot of houses next to it. The trucking terminals and light industry is much more predominant. There's also a big political issue out there right now regarding the construction of a high voltage transmission line Com-Ed wants to build, I believe along the ROW. <br /> <br />I realize changes won't happen overnight and the planning people just advise. I also don't think it has to be an all or nothing solution where the inner yards would be eliminated. Clyde has become so overloaded with Intermodal, the Q is doing a lot more flat switching of general freight at Eola(out near the J) so it's already happening. Most of the local freight work along the racetrack now originates from Eola, rather than Clyde.
