It's interesting that Daly would believe that.

Chicago became a major Midwestern city primarily because it was a rail hub where different railroads connected.

The problem was the railroads didn’t really connect. Instead they had separate stations and it was necessary to travel between stations to make some connections. That was a pet peeve of Mayor Daley’s.
