Here is an interesting Metra site - there is a link at the bottom of the page to a good picture page. However, the site author is quite misinformed. I think he made some of it up, as some of the equipment history is pretty far out...

Wow ... it's hard to find a single piece of accurate information on that page. The pictures are decent, though.

Metra took over a bunch of freight railroads? Wow! :P
