MetraUPWest
Service Attendant
On Metra all of the cab cars are ADA compliant as opposed to many of our coaches which are not. You will see a cab car right near the engine for that reason. We also have 6, 8, 9, and 10 car trains on the lines I run, so cab cars in the middle allow the train to be easily resized. Most weekend and off peak trains only run 6 cars, so you leave the extra cars behind in a yard or downtown.
