Love to see it.

Yep - I'm assuming UA has it's eye on the long-run with S1+S2+OGT that will open them up to more capacity here. They will get domestic expansion at DEN too, but ORD should be their main international hub.

That seems very strange. The station itself is only a bit higher than a tram itself. Are they going to move the tracks to ground level also? Get rid of the tram all together?
