Welcome to another VirtualTrain ride! Today we introduce another one of Metra's routes, the North Central Service (NCS) route! This route largely runs on CN's Waukesha sub through the center of Lake County, IL and eventually meets up with two of Metra's other routes (Milwaukee District West and Milwaukee District North) as we enter the city. Currently this route only operates on weekdays during rush hour (as of August 2022 it runs 6 inbound trains in AM and 6 outbound trains in PM) and has no weekend service. Enjoy the ride!
