ABATE club to hold Train Fun Run

Carlson said these achievements were due largely to a focus on maintenance, and the equipment has needed it. Metra has the oldest fleet of locomotive cars in the country. He said there are four cars on the BNSF line from Aurora to Chicago, which are sometimes used on the Southwest Service that will turn 65-years-old next year.

Metra has been trying to find ways to operate more efficiently with numerous studies about its fare structure, station optimization and investment, and infrastructure efficiency, among other areas of its operations. — The Aurora Train Station, 233 N. Broadway (Eric Ginnard)
