It's a terrific system; heck, I was riding it when gas was a buck a gallon and the green E-9 BN locos were thundering down the racetrack...like SF buff sez, Metra's got it going!

Not good for a woman,
In or about 1980s, or 1970s, the Metra 'SpeedBowel' with an BN E-9, they thought the engine next to the platform, Downers Grove,IL, was setting off the signals, but when two ladies pasted-
one stopped, the other was hit at 60 mph!
But you should see them now! The go 0-10 in at least 3 seconds!
