Metra boasts a 97% on-time record. To maintain that kind of performance day in and day out, top-notch maintenance of equipment is an absolute necessity. Keeping the coaches and locomotives in the best condition is the responsibility of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe’s 14th Street maintenance facility in Chicago — known as the Zephyr Pit.

There are not only trackside scenes of Metra Commuter Rail, but also a cab ride with a meet of an SP freight, Amtrak & other Metra trains, a look at the changing of the wheels for both the coaches & locomotives, a washdown, a diesel refuel, & even interviews with some of the people behind the railroad: BNSF Driver Bill Wareham, former BNSF Manager Jim Zeilmann, & Crewmember Gwen Halbert.
Meanwhile, there is a visit to Ash Street Crossing with Union Pacific, Rio Grande, Wisconsin Central, Illinois Central, Conrail, & even the South Shore Line’s Electric Interurbans as they do some Street Running in Michigan City Indiana prior to the February 2022 re-route.
