A silver Metra train with green-tinted windows is stopped at a station platform. The blue 'Metra' logo is visible on its side, next to the tracks and yellow tactile paving. The scene appears to be at night.
Chicago Metra
It’s been a while for posting, and for me riding the Metra. I’m very happy I did this and I learned alot on this ride. It’s very comfortable and cozy compared to any line with #CTA and this is my opinion. Haven’t been on a Metra in like 13 years prior til today. #Newworkcommute
