Short of electrification, I'm sure I'm not alone in wishing Metra would move towards DMU's. I'm bewildered why there is such a ye olde railroading culture at not just Metra but many NA agencies. Does it have to do with the fact that Metra lines are operated by the freight RR owners, thus a reluctance to try anything new or the belief that maximum flexibility means coaches and locos?
