6264-506: The purchase of the M&B line, fearing that increased traffic on the Meridian Speedway would cause congestion. CN required CPKC report the daily number of trains running through the Speedway to know if there will indeed be congestion on the line.

6351-637: The railroads only touch at Kansas City, and interchange volumes were relatively low, with about four trains per day as of September 2021.

For consumer protection purposes, many U.S. jurisdictions require businesses operating with fictitious names to file
6699-473: The trader for whom it was named lived there before his time. Mr. Beaubien says it is pronounced Du Pazhe (having the sound of ah, and that the P should be capitalized).

Hobson later built
6786-471: The two preceding companies. Union Pacific and BNSF Railway raised objections to the merger with the STB.

Many DuPage County communities which normally vote Republican, including but not limited to Naperville , Lisle , Wheaton , Glen Ellyn , Carol Stream , Downers Grove , and Elmhurst did not support Donald Trump in 2016.

Beaubien had often spoken to him of the old Frenchman, Du Page, whose station was on the bank of the river, down toward its mouth, and stated that the river took its name from him.

7395-704: Was seen as backing up pre-merger projections that CPKC's single-line service would enable it to compete in the Chicago–Mexico corridor that had been dominated by the Union Pacific and BNSF.

DuPage County has historically been a fiscally and socially conservative Republican stronghold, though in recent years has become more politically liberal especially on issues of race and immigration.
