Why can't St Louis and Kansas City handle more of the rail traffic and intermodal burden of Chicago ? I think they are already number 3 and number 2 hubs already. I'm guessing St Louis is a bit of a bottleneck though too with the Mississippi as well as the lack of trackage cutting through the Ozarks and the weird mashup of eastern and western railroads. A few years ago it seemed like KC was really expanding multimodal capacity.
