ByA year ago, the Canadian Pacific Railroad acquired the Kansas City Southern Railroad, creating a continuous rail from Mexico to Canada. But some in northwest suburban communities it runs through say it's been nothing but a headache.A year ago, the Canadian Pacific Railroad acquired the Kansas City Southern Railroad, creating a continuous rail from Mexico to Canada. The railroad says that's been good for commerce, but some northwest suburbs say it's not been good for them.

At a Bensenville barbershop, they see trains going through the Bensenville station all day. Guevara, who is a barber at Fadez Chicago in Bensenville, said the long delays cause lots of inconveniences. "Hasn't happened, knock on wood. But this is with one additional train. You can expect a 300% increase in trains on this corridor will have an impact on public safety," Summers said.

Members of the suburban coalition opposing the merger between Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern filed suit several months ago.
