Chicago has been playing around with the idea of express airport corridor for a while. Like, at least a decade.

Actually, there is an abandoned, unfinished 'cta Superstation' under Block 37, in case anyone is wondering.

Yup. The stations itself cost some $250 million.

I can only imagine the fortune it would cost to make this a reality. All for shaving 10-15 minutes off the normal transit trip. hm.

Also, isn't the station pictured as the O'Hare station the new Denver International Airport Station?

FWIW, I took a morning blue line train from O'hare to the loop, and carrying luggage on a packed peak hour train is an enormous PITA. I would have loved a Metra trip even if it had cost $5 per person or whatever, and had even taken longer.

LOL, I noticed that too! Seems like they pulled images from all over the world.
From that French SNCF train with Metra logo on it, and that HSR train-set with Amtrak logo? That would be a KTX train at Seoul Station.

Boarding at Ohare cost you $5 anyway. Same price, zero comfort. LOL

Anyway, I'd rather see a N-S subway built here before some high speed downtown to downtown is constructed.

At least the image gives that credit... but I laughed at that too.
