an update of the Metra Electric route. I have done a lot of work on the equipment that will ultimately come with the route. here is a partially completed South Shore Line train.
Metra bought the wrong type of equipment for regional service including old frieght engines and the new cars on order. Sure they ran in service doesnt mean its the best use of equipment.

A Metra number on a former C&NW car would have been 87xx, if a cab car. It wasn't a cab car, it was the second car behind the engine. I rode it on Tuesday. It also didn't have the old flip over C&NW seats that had a metal back & upholstery on just one side, but the current seats that just flip back & forth with upholstery on both sides.
Metra car number is 8718 - that car came back as part of a group of 6 sometime in 2014 and has been in service on the UP lines since returning. Not sure if VRE or Metra is responsible for the seat swap.
RTAMS has a Metra Ridership by Station - Boarding & Alighting Survey (1979-2018). Melrose Park had about 86 boardings and 107 alightings in 2018; River Forest 448/441; Maywood 87/69. Compare to Oak Park 991/1106; Elmhurst 2540/2347; Lombard 1502/1472. So, if the aim were anything other than rebuilding ridership, Maywood and Melrose Park wouldn't be worth the 4 minute delay per stop. By ...
Metra 7793-7796 and 8745 were among the cars that were shipped west circa June 2004. I think the original concept at UTA was to have these cars operating in the same consist as the new Bombardier-built double-deckers.
Equipment in the Milw/NCS and HC pools are maintained by Metra at Western Ave (assuming previously a Milwaukee Road facility but don't know for sure). If you see a trainset oriented "backwards" north of Union Station, it's a HC trainset heading to or from Western Ave.

Sun-Times commentary on this topic: "Metra 'boondoggle' is textbook case of mismanaging taxpayer money Metra is blowing tens of millions of dollars, with terrible oversight, on a warehouse in Harvey it bought in 2020. This is why transit agency reforms are a must." Mostly it quotes the ABC7 report posted a te top of this topic, but Rich Miller adds: "The thing that just completely blew my mind ...
It does appear WSMTD is gone. Explains BNSF cars on Orland trains and original Metra cars on BNSF if now straight Metra owned. I know that originally, the Burlington required much stronger frames & anti-telescoping structures on its commuter coaches than the rest of the local RRs running bilevel commuter trains.
