HINES, Ill.—Every Thursday, Bob McMahon —often in his trademark Marine Corps sweatshirt and ball cap—volunteers in a food pantry at the Hines VA Hospital in suburban Chicago that helps veterans, active-duty troops and hospital employees. Mr. McMahon, 63 years old, who served in the Marines just after the Vietnam War and left the service as a Private First Class, was homeless when he first came to the Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital program in 2013, which he credits with saving his life. The pantry serves more than 100 veterans a week, said Kerry Thomas, a licensed clinical social worker at Hines.

CHICAGO—A long-planned expansion of a freight yard where oceangoing containers are moved from railcars to trucks cleared a final hurdle Wednesday, a sign of the third-largest U.S. city’s importance as a rail hub and the challenges of running a railroad in a dense urban area. The city council approved a measure to turn over the streets and alleys that pass through block after block of empty lots now owned by Norfolk Southern Corp. The railroad began acquiring and eventually demolishing a total of 500 homes in Englewood, one of the city’s poorest neighborhoods, for the multimillion-dollar project in 2008.

It took more than two years for the share price to recover.
