  • Today I am riding Metra for the first time on the Electric District to 55-56-57th street station. This is the only electrified Metra line which runs southbound from Millennium Park.
    Thank you for your support!

    I love how some of Metra's line names are so straight to the point, "the electric one", "the one on BNSF's tracks" etc

      They are quite direct with it.

    My son is special needs and he loves trains 🚆🛤🚊🚂🚃🚄🚅🚇🚈🚉🚝🚞🚋 they're one of his favorite things in the whole world 🌎! He finds those bi level electric cars very interesting and thinks they are highly underrated rail transportation vehicles. He also thinks that the part of the Virginian Railroad that use to be electrified should be "reelectrified" and the departments of transportation should run these on them and the part of the Milwaukee Road Pacific Extension that was electrified as well.

      I agree that we should be electrifying as much of the country’s rail infrastructure as possible. It makes for more efficient, quieter, and quicker trains, which ultimately saves money in the long run. And yes, trains are one of the best things in the world, your son has good taste.

    A part of me kind of wants the South Shore to take over the Electric District with Gary and Dyer as part of the combined part that reaches Metro Frequency with 30mins to Michigan City and 60 to Valparaiso and South Bend (upped to 15 and 30 at peak) with limited service to the airport and at least give South Bend an airport shuttle from the terminal station (be at the present Amtrak station, returning Union Station to service, or a new station entirely)

      That would be quite the interesting shift.
