The Illinois problems are those of reliability... more often than not the Hoosier State and Cardinal get delayed at Dolton Junction for an hour or several.
Fortunately, any number of solutions will be constructed in the next 10 years (Grand Crossing, St. Charles Air Line into Union, etc).
Speeding up the scheduled times is great, and that's Indiana's problem, but all that means nothing if the train loses 90 minutes exiting Chicagoland.
