Elgin Joliet & Eastern connected the railroads "Around-Not Thru Chicago." EJ&E provided Chicago with an outer belt railroad, helping interchange traffic avoid delays as it was routed around the heart of the busiest freight railroad hub in America. US Steel at Gary was also a significant source of traffic for the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern.
