Reply to "Metra roll call!!!!"

I am relishing this thread and the models portrayed.  I'm an old steam man but am enjoying myself considerably watching Metra's variety on the BNSF,  the gallery cars with "Burlington", the one Metra nightly double-header (with 8 cars, vs. the regular 7 cars and 1 locomotive), spotting the BNSF 25 yr commemorative unit, Amtrak long distance trains (this past afternoon 2 private cars were tacked on the end of the SW Chief), BNSF 6 locomotive intermodal hotshots, the Siemans' Charger locomotive on the Illinois Zephyr, the occasional coal train.  All in all, not a bad time to be a railfan! And, as displayed, a modern era model railroader, too!
