Pace831 Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Thanks for this. The forum was due for a Metra car roster, since CTA and Pace rosters have existed for a while. 45 minutes ago, andrethebusman said: 752 sold 20034 2003 or 2004?

Busjack Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 43 minutes ago, andrethebusman said: Latest from Metra 2017_3rd_Quarter_Rolling_Stock_Report.pdf One surprising thing on this is that the older BNSF cars are listed as owned by METRA, not WSMTD. However, West Suburban Mass Transit District doesn't come up with meaningful results on Google, so maybe it is no more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrethebusman Posted January 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 It does appear WSMTD is gone. Explains BNSF cars on Orland trains and original Metra cars on BNSF if now straight Metra owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artthouwill Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 At one time, didn't Metra or RTA subsidize a few of the South Shore cars? I seem to remember a RTA logo on some single level cars. I know the bilevels were NICTD purchases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the Nippon-Sharyo cars from the 1980s, 31-38 are Metra owned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. So has that requirement changed or are current Metra coaches, other than the really old ex-C&NW painted ones the only ones that don't meet those specs?

That was discussed in connection with the aborted Metra procurement, which said only that the cars must meet FRA requirements. Also, obviously 6000s and 8500s are running on the BNSF.
