What is the reason for this occurring now? (I'm glad about it, but doesn't Chicago have horrible fuel prices - and jet fuel is presumably the main cost in the cargo business. Maybe the airlines just negotiate national kerosene prices with the oil companies?)
Either way, with the I-90 and Elgin O'Hare and Western Bypass projects, cargo surface operations will see many more benefits.

And why a downtown express train should be a no brainer, especially given the further increasing position of the city as a national gathering place (Lollapalooza, zillions of conventions, still-booming hotel construction, explosion in unique and creative dining options) and further congestion worsening on the Kennedy.
