The Chicago Story
NS Chicago 47th St Terminal
CREATE Project Locations
CREATE Englewood Flyover
• A rail-rail bridge flyover will be constructed for the north-south Metra Rock Island line over the east-west NS-AMTRAK line.
• Eliminates significant delays between Metra, AMTRAK & NS trains which average 78, 14 and 46 trains per day, respectively.
• 30 mph speed restriction through Englewood Interlocking currently for NS & AMTRAK – planned increase to 50 mph.
• Passenger train volumes at Englewood could increase 50% within a few years.
• More efficient train operations for
nearby 47th and 63rd Street Intermodal Terminals.
