So you’re saying there could be hope for the Illini-Northwestern game?
JB need not sweat the details.  Previous Message advance in some cases. Second, you're in the middle of high season for moving Christmas stuff and corn from harvest. If I owned that line there isn't a snowball's chance in hell I'd let you alter my schedule. Maybe if people were willing to pay $500 a ticket in January for basketball I could see it working, but not in the Midwest in September-November, particularly when the elevators are bursting at the seams with inventory. Previous Message Commercial interests is a viable answer but we’re talking one train every couple weeks. Previous Message Weren’t they talking about something like this for the Bears’ stadium in Arlington Heights? PARTY TRAIN need not be partisan! Previous Message in fall of a year where Illinois farmers put up about 220 bushels an acre on average for corn. The US has the best rail network in the world, but because it is used for "useless shit" like moving corn or cars instead of allowing leftists to ride on an economically nonviable mode of transit everyone thinks our trains suck.

Except there is no train LaGrange to CU other than 6:45am arriving 11am.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if a train could leave Union Station around 1:30pm, get to CU by 4, then return around 11 arriving by 1:30am?
And even more awesome would be if they opened up that stop just down the street from the stadium, and our game wasn’t at night.
Make it happen, Fat JB!!!
