CSX, Chicago, Illinois state and federal officials last week gathered to mark the completion of the Argo Connections, the 32nd project to be completed of the 70 that are part of the Chicago Region Environmental and Transportation Efficiency (CREATE) Program.
Known as CREATE project B9, the Argo work involved the construction of a new double-track connection and crossovers — switches that allow trains to pass one another, rather than waiting behind one another — between the Belt Railway Co. of Chicago (BRC) and Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad (IHB)/CSX line at Archer Avenue and 63rd Street.
