There is nowhere for the "present tanks" to go.Sure there is. Metra is working their way through a torturous process to get the STAR and Southeast services up and running, as well as improve CNW-NW and CNW-W service. All of that is going to require additional rolling stock which as yet has not been ordered. At the moment it looks like they want to use DMUs for the STAR line, but the other services could easily use standard diesel push pull trains. Caltrain's newer Gallery cars and perhaps the BBD Bilevels could provide a lot of the rolling stock for those services. |
