		Chicago was not one of these, for while nature had provided a grand and free highway for commerce from Chicago to the eastward, there were no avenues for it penetrating the interior, until they were created by the necessities of the situation....

		The subject of railroads may not properly be dismissed without a passing allusion to the great trans-continental lines built or in progress, and their effect on the commerce of the city.

		One key to proving the plaintiffs' case, said Cavanagh, was in immediately acquiring the audiotapes of the communication between Haas and the Chicago Central engineer and conductor.

	Three towns join forces to silence train horns
		But in the aftermath of the Federal Railway Administration’s ruling earlier this year allowing the creation of quiet zones along rail lines in the Chicago metropolitan area, Riverside, North Riverside and Berwyn, with the assistance of the West Central Municipal Conference, are partnering to explore establishing a quiet zone along the CCP tracks.

		Previously, the CCP Railroad has been adamant in its refusal to allow a quiet zone along the line unless municipalities agreed to bear 100 percent liability.
