  • We are so grateful to have State Rep. Natalie Manley visit Union Station during her educational transit tour for senior constituents. Today, attendees were able to get a better understanding of Union Station and see a demonstration of using the ticket vending machines.

  • ⭐ Metra Service Star At Metra, every interaction matters. One rider recently reached out to share praise for a Metra engineer who took extra time to connect with a young train enthusiast with autism. The rider said the engineer's kindness and selflessness made a huge impact and created a memorable experience for the group. Thank you for representing the very best of Metra.
