The new Metra Units have been usually assigned to the Metra Rock Island District for the past few weeks. Metra usually tests their new units on this district because they own the RockISland trackage from Chicago to the end of the platform at Joliet-CSX doesthe switching during operating windows allowed by the Metra dispatcher. Iowa Interstate also runs during off-peak hours over the Metra trackage. Metra owns the Rock Island District and the Metra Electric districts-all others are owned by the freight railroads that Metra operate over-Naperville is on the BNSF ex-Burlington mainline. Joliet is also served by Metra Heritage corridor trains which run rush hour only weekdays and no weekend service-their trains usually come in on track 3-they occasionally get lucky enough to use the platform on Track 2.
