The property line would end at the railroad right of way. A passenger station would be built to provide service to the airport.
The current talk is to build it as a cargo airport, but the original concept was a passenger airport to serve the growing population in Illinois and Indiana that find access to the existing airports inconvenient. There is every reason to believe that if it is built it will start serving passengers just as soon as they can get airlines to agree to use it for passenger flights. As you can see from the recent law, they are adding cargo to the list of reasons for building the airport; they are not replacing passenger service ;)

- bombcar 3y agoCargo airports should be built even further out, because cargo doesn't care about waiting around. Of course, there's also the factor that cargo flights are insane to begin with, if you take a bit to think about it.
