  • The Metra Electric District is an electrified commuter rail line owned and operated by Metra which connects Millennium Station (formerly Randolph Street Station), in downtown Chicago, with the city's southern suburbs. As of 2018, it is the fifth busiest of Metra's 11 lines, after the BNSF, UP-NW, UP-N, and UP-W Lines with nearly 7.7 million annual riders. While Metra does not explicitly refer to any of its lines by color, the timetable accents for the Metra Electric District are printed in bright "Panama orange" to reflect the line's origins with the Illinois Central Railroad (IC) and its Panama Limited passenger train. Apart from the spots where its tracks run parallel to other main lines, it is the only Metra line running entirely on dedicated passenger tracks, with no freight trains operating anywhere on the actual route itself (the only exceptions perhaps being occasional work or repair trains). The line is the only one in the Metra system with more than one station in Downtown Chicago, and also has the highest number of stations (49) of any Metra line. It is the only Metra line powered by overhead lines, the only line with high-level platforms, and the only one with three service branches. Trains operate on 1,500 V DC, and all stations have high-level platforms. The main line north of Kensington/115th Street is shared with NICTD's South Shore Line, an electric interurban line through northern Indiana to South Bend. Per a longstanding non-compete agreement, South Shore trains stopping at stations shared with the Electric District only pick up passengers heading eastbound (outbound from Chicago) and only discharge passengers heading westbound (inbound to the city). As of May 2022, the 147th Street (Sibley Boulevard) station is closed for reconstruction until summer 2023, with passengers being encouraged to use Ivanhoe or Harvey stations as alternate options. As of May 23, 2022, Metra operates 127 trains (62 inbound and 65 outbound) on the line on weekdays. Of these, 27 inbound trains originate from University Park, four from Homewood, three from Kensington/115th Street, 20 from South Chicago (93rd Street), and eight from Blue Island. 10 outbound trains terminate at Blue Island, 22 at South Chicago (93rd Street), three at Kensington/115th Street, four at Homewood, and 26 at University Park (One outbound train to Blue Island, No. 245, originates from Kensington/115th Street, not Millennium Station). On Saturdays, Metra operates 41 roundtrip trains on the line, including 21 on the main line to University Park, 16 trains on the South Chicago branch, and four on the Blue Island branch. On Sunday and holidays, Metra operates 22 trains on the line, with 12 roundtrips operating on the main line to University Park and 10 trains operating on the South Chicago branch. Service on the Blue Island branch is suspended during these times. The stretch of the line from Millennium Station to 55th-56th-57th Street is the most heavily traveled section on the entire Metra system. Suburban operations along the line are the most frequent in the entire Metra system. The Metra Electric District also has the best on-time performance of all Metra lines, averaging only one late train a month in 2014. (en)
  • Metra電鐵線(Metra Electric District)是由芝加哥通勤鐵路運營的一條通勤鐵路線,聯結芝加哥市中心和南郊。列車由市中心千禧車站(舊稱廊道夫街車站)發車,全線使用電聯車。列車行經原伊利諾伊中央鐵路旅客列車的線路,故在Metra時刻表上以“亮巴拿馬橙色”作為標注。 Metra電鐵線為芝加哥僅有兩條由電氣化鐵路運營的客運列車線路,亦是芝加哥通勤铁路系統中唯一的電氣化線路,此外Metra電鐵線還是芝加哥通勤铁路系統內唯一具有三分支的線路。電氣化方式為1500V架空電纜供電,全部車站均為高月台以適應電聯車停靠。Metra電鐵線和另一條通往北印第安納州的電氣化通勤鐵路南岸線 (NICTD)在肯辛頓站以北共用線路和車站。 (zh)
