Tcmetro Posted July 12, 2024 Report Share Posted July 12, 2024 I've noticed them gearing up for this project over the past few months. Glad to see it will only take a week to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyerMCI Posted October 12, 2024 Report Share Posted October 12, 2024 Is there any documentation or explanation that details how this work will increase capacity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can look throughout the South Shore site. Essentially NICTD gets is own platform at Van Buren St. and a 2 track clear shot into its berths at Millennium Station. Needed for the 15 additional Lake Shore corridor trains and whatever additional service for the Monon corridor effective May 2025. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artthouwill Posted Wednesday at 08:27 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 08:27 PM I took a stroll by Van Buren Station today. Apparently all trains are using Tracks 2 and 3 ( the island platform). There is no Track 4 or any tracks east of Track 3. The station waiting room is vacant. Unfortunately I didn't think to visit the Museum Campus Station. Hopefully I will get to it in the near future.
