I wonder how they will route that around Chicago?

There is another thread on this new service. Why start a second thread for the same story? [:o)][:p]

This isn’t really a “revival”, anyway. QNPSKP has been running for years (that’s North Platte, Nebraska, to Selkirk, New York, over UP and CSX).

If the train goes “around” Chicago, it will be on the IHB/B&OCT line to Blue Island and Barr Yard. But it can just as easily go through Chicago via UP’s Rockwell Subdivision and the old B&O main line into the city, thence to Barr Yard. Either way, it will stay on UP at least as far as Proviso, and leave on CSX at Dolton Junction.

Don’t forget the QNPWXP.
