No it's typically recovered anywhere from 10-30 years depending on how busy the route is and the electricity prices.

Briefly le_brew, what do you have against them? (one doesn't have to let oneself be seduced into it continously -- and they are very, very useful information sources, besides making calls). |

Regarding electrification, the environmental and operational costs are secondary. The main benefits are reduced trip time and better ride conditions due to acceleration and improved air quality for passengers.

Kind of obscure, but good news from CREATE - the massive 75th Street project just completed all environmental reviews and was approved by the Feds. The project includes demolishing almost 30 homes for a new Metra flyover, so approval is great news. It also includes two additional flyovers, track reconfigurations, signal upgrades, and viaduct replacement.

The time savings? For the longest lines . . . . "between 5 and 10 minutes per trip." Maybe there would be less expensive ways to save 3-7% of running time. |

Madison/Wabash
I posted this originally on the Chicago development thread but was told that this would fit much better here (I didn't know this thread existed). But does anyone know the exact date when the Madison/Wabash demolition will begin? I heard spring 2015 then early 2015. Honestly I wish that the station house would be restored since it's still possible.
