BNSF is metering traffic between the West Coast and Chicago this week as it attempts to deal with congestion at its midwestern gateway, according to a notice from the ocean carrier MSC and a confirmation from the railroad. MSC said the metering took effect Sunday and would last for two weeks. The first rail service from Aurora to Chicago in 1850 chugged north from Aurora to the G&CU tracks (now the UP West) and then east to Chicago. When that line got too congested, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy built their own direct line, which opened with passenger service in 1864. Over the years, the name of the owner changed to Burlington Northern to Burlington Northern Santa Fe to BNSF. Riders may need to stand near other riders, and the train may skip stations in order to avoid further crowding. Follow this line. Talk to Metra. Customer Service. (312) 322.6777.
