@Amtrak1194 Let me think, the skokie branch used both 3rd rail & cantenary but at certain sections of the tracks. Now its 3rd rail throughout the whole line, but some of the cars still have pantographs on top of their roofs. Now back to your question, The cta green line "L" is closer to the metra electric tracks which I believe that is not far from jackson park? In my viewpoint, the cta should re-build that strecth of tracks and have a ramp that will merge along with the metra tracks.

Its got that new smell !!!
I thought that metra's old highliners were supposed to be retired, so the new one can take its place
(Did you here about, that cta is asking metra for permission to use their tracks for the el trains)?
