Union Pacific’s plan to add trains in the Chicago area raises alarms In a merger application, the railroad plans to double the number of trains on a 2-mile stretch of track on Chicago’s West Side.

The idea of "threading their way through 58 passenger trains and 24 freight trains" a day seems less than safe. But also, damn, that is a whole lot of additional pollution every time those locomotives sit idle, waiting for the go ahead.
