They run the Metra electric line between Randolph-University Park Date: 03/20/25 10:07 Re: Holiday Train Still Rocks the Metra Electric Author: filmteknik Yes, these are electric multiple unit cars by Nippon-Sharyo which succeeded the early 1970s Highliners which succeeded the 1926 single level motor / trailer pairs.
Power is 1500 VDC via overhead catenary. The Nippon-Sharyo cars use inverter-driven AC traction motors |
