(erielack) Re: Interstate Trains (other than Amtrak)

As far as interstate passenger trains are concerned, aside from some of the 
east coast services (ConnDot, VRE, for example), out of Chicago, Metra 
operates suburban service everyday to Kenosha, WI and the South Shore Line 
(NICTD) operates trains to Gary, Michigan City and South Bend.  Also, until 
October, 1982, Chicago's RTA still had suburban service via the Milwaukee 
Road to Walworth, WI (passenger service presently ends at Fox Lake, IL) and 
until August 5, 1975, the C&NW (under the RTA banner) still ran service to 
Lake Geneva, WI.  Under Metra, service on the former C&NW still runs to 
McHenry, IL, although the tracks are still in-service for frt. to Ringwood, 
IL.
