The six additional trains on tracks shared with Metra and the Canadian Pacific freight service coupled with Union Pacific freight lines further west in the village may put the area over the tipping point for train traffic. It would require construction of a nearly two-mile long holding track running through Glenview and Northbrook. A plan nearly two years in the works devised by state officials Continued on PG 8
