But surely that's the case whether the link to downtown is via the North Central or Milw-W tracks. As for tunnels, my thought was that they could be shallow cut-and-cover going through the airport property and under runways, less difficult than approaching from the east. But the most important reason is that Metra already has full control of the Milw-W, while the North Central will require extensive negotiations with CP.
I can't imagine spending all the money and effort on an airport express that terminates at a people-mover station in Rosemont, 1500 meters from baggage claim. As they said about the BART SFO extension, that's like
coitus interruptus.
