Is it the diamond qaulity or the weight of the cars, or both?The Metra trains aren't technically using the diamonds in the same way as the South Shore trains - they're on a straight move. The diamonds are not in great shape, and the Kensington project, in addition to adding a second track connecting directly into Metra Main Track 4, is also programmed to rehabilitate/replace the diamonds and specialwork associated with the existing ladder.
