Why would Corridor Capital bother to improve service on the line if funding is in question after October? They need at least another year to make needed improvements.
The Hoosier State is really just royally screwed in Chicagoland. North of Dyer, it uses six(!) different railroads to get to Union Station. Various reroutes have been discussed, mostly using CN's tracks in the Metra Electric corridor, but so far CN has refused to allow this. That may change if the state ever gets off its ass and funds the Grand Crossing connection or a direct connection on the St Charles Air Line (the refusal of officials to even consider building this incredibly useful connection boggles the mind).
