I doubt it; the bi-levels relieved untenable overcrowding, but even with them in service, there's seldom significant excess capacity on any trains; off-peak trains run with fewer cars as equipment is rotated out for cleaning and maintenance, and most trains are full in both directions, sometimes SRO, at least between Van Buren and Hegewisch, and sometimes all the way to East Chicago.
