The Illinois Central Electric (now called Metra Electric) from my experience beginning as a child is the gold standard by which to measure suburban/commuter rail service. And for speed, remember that North Shore tested the Electroliners at over 100mph on the Skokie Valley Route.As to Cleveland, my experiences in 1963 (the blue PCC based rapid cars and MU PCCs on Shaker) and 1996 (3rd generation Rapid cars and Breda junk) is that the system performs well. I heard no tales of downed catenary in winter and we all know about DC and some years CTA having 3rd rail snow issues. |
