LOL! The special Chicago technology involves a platform to support 8 burly guys who stand around and watch the train drive itself while reading the Sun Times.

In all seriousness, they extended the tracks and the new rails did not line up with the old. New cars were ordered as well, presumably to run on one size or the other
. 15 old cars, intended to be retained, were stored in an unsecured (i.e. no fence) yard where they were stripped down and damaged by vandals.

Followed the signs to ground transportation and connections. Then asked another person in the yellow vest where is the bus to T1, they said in the tent right over there. Yes, it’s by exit E5, I was one of the last to board the bus. Pre-check at T1 was about a minute and a half. And.. I was at the B6 lounge At 11:20 AM.
Thanks again for all your insight
Thanks for the report! Glad to see, for once, something other than doom and gloom on this thread.
