HONORING OUR RAILROAD HERITAGE

Metra as we know it wouldn’t exist without the railroads that first

made Chicago the rail center of the country. To honor the legacy of
these storied railroads, Metra created a locomotive painting program
that brings a glimpse of the past to tracks across Chicagoland.
Through its heritage locomotive program, Metra is reproducing the

color schemes of its predecessors on its locomotive fleet. So far, five
locomotives have received special paint jobs: one in the colors of

the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad; one in the colors of the
Chicago Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad; one in the colors of

the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad; one in the colors of the
state of Illinois; and the most recent one, just introduced, in the colors
of Chicago & North Western Railroad, the forerunner of routes operated

for Metra today by Union Pacific Railroad. Metra engine painted in hist ric
Because the paint job is part of the regular rehab, the special ones don’t Chicago & N rth Western Railroad col rs
cost any extra money. But the payoff is huge.
