Though we can't celebrate Metra's 40th anniversary in person, we can celebrate them with a trip report! This video was filmed on the Metra Electric Blue Island Branch. A very regional train, with giant electric double-deckers, that ends up serving Chicago on the city's oldest commuter line. Find out what makes the Blue Island Branch so different from the other Metra lines, especially the electric ones?
