Скачать или смотреть Chicago Metra Electric Trains at Museum Campus/11th Street Station

Metra is the brand name for the State of Illinois' Regional Transportation Authority which mostly co-ordinates the suburban railway services in the greater Chicago area with the legacy railroads which have operated these services for decades.

Metra's electric line is an odd-ball in a few ways, it's the only electrified route Metra owns and also directly operates as a legacy of the Illinois Central Railroad's 1926 electrification of its suburban service, latterly known as IC Electric.

Rolling stock is standardised with a fleet of Japanese manufactured double deck Nippon-Sharyo EMU's.

This station is two stops south from the Millennium Station terminal of the service, where the Interurban South Shore Line to South Bend Indiana also runs. Unfortunately, none of their services passed while I was in the area.
