METRA wants to be a Common Carrier, Working Passengers and Freight

So this was on Book of Faces yesterday…

Link: Metra has announced a new intermodal freight service in partnership with BNSF and Canadian Pacific that will allow shippers to take advantage of faster transport times in the Chicago area.

Have fun, commuters

LIRR was probably the only public sector commuter carrier in the freight business, until freight was privatized
under franchise agreement with NYA.

CTA had a freight operation until 1973, and NYCT still has its freight subsidiary (SBK).

Uhh that's from a fake account?

It's a troll.

That user (WDTX1402) has been known to make fake edits of locomotives (and other miscellaneous vehicles alike) with somewhat convincing titles. If it looks just a bit odd, be sure to zoom in on the picture and look for a faded "WDTX1402" on the side of the engine.
