Metra-Metropolitan Rail

The train is clean, the conductors are gruff, and you get to your destination on time, mostly.

Prior to my company moving my dept up to the Northern suburbs, I have been a long time rider of the Metra Heritage Corridor. I had a great group of friends that would share two four seaters. What was nice about Metra is that you could have alcohol on the train. Friday nights train ride home we would have snacks and a drink. This train has friendly conductors. The biggest complaint is this train was never on time. We were always delayed for one reason or another. It especially got frustrating after we were told that a new GPS system was put in to monitor the trains. If that is the case what is with all the freight train interference?
If nothing else… to all my friends still on the HC… I miss you guys!
