A study is underway to determine ridership, and how land around the lines could be developed" One proposed commuter line would link Waukegan and Joliet, among other towns, by using the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway freight tracks.The other line would use Indiana Harbor Belt and Belt Railway Co. tracks between Midway Airport and the O'Hare Airport stop of Metra's North Central Service Line."
