Chicago leaders announced plan to launch what they’re calling, “the first airport express train in the US.” The O’Hare Flyer is a fully electric train that will offer non-stop rides between downtown Chicago and America’s busiest airfield.

The planned fully electric train route has been pieced together, Ticket to Ride-style, using freight rail right-of-way currently owned by three Class I railroads: CSX, Canadian National (CN), and Union Pacific (UP). The O’Hare Flyer group has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with CSX and says it’s moving forward with the other carriers as well.

“By combining three existing but underused freight rights-of-way into a dedicated express rail service, we will create the best airport transportation experience in America – and one of the best in the world,” remarked O’Hare Flyer Founder and Chief Engineering Officer, Mark Walbrun. “This is an important first for Chicago and for the country. O’Hare Flyer will build on Chicago’s heritage as America’s rail capital and center of innovation.”

The proposed train would carry passengers from Chicago‘s West Loop to O’Hare’s Terminal 2, which serves Air Canada, JetBlue, United Express, and select United Airlines flights. Alaska Airlines and select Delta flights also operate from the terminal.
