Metra Electric Line

The Metra Electric Line is an electrified commuter rail line owned and operated by Metra which connects Millennium Station (formerly Randolph Street Station) in downtown Chicago, with the city's southern suburbs. While Metra does not explicitly refer to any of its lines by color, the timetable accents for the Metra Electric Line are printed in bright "Panama orange" to reflect the line's origins with the Illinois Central Railroad (IC) and its Panama Limited passenger train.[2]

The Electric Line is the only Metra line powered by overhead catenary lines, and the only to have three branches. Trains operate on 1500 volts direct current, and all stations have high-level platforms. The Metra Electric Line shares the main line north of Kensington with NICTD's South Shore Line, which is also powered by overhead lines and is an interurban line that runs through the Chicago suburbs of northern Indiana to South Bend.
