The signaling between West Chicago and Elmhurst is such......there isn't any! They have two holding points. They can hold at Finley Rd or at Wheaton. Other than that, that's it. The dispatcher constantly has to do location checks on trains in this area, because he can't watch them.

There may not be any wayside signals along this segment, but that's because it's governed by cab signals, with ATC (Automatic Train Control). ATC/Cab signal systems aren't used with wayside signals outside of interlockings...
