Do the Metra trains have car/s equipped with a restroom?

I looked on their site and there was no mention of any. I assume they are not equipped.

Just curious since I have never ridden on a Metra train.

Thank you!

Metra trains are equipped with restrooms on some cars.  Here is an excerpt from Metra:

Metra diesel trains have priority seating just inside the train car near the vestibule.  Each lift-equipped car has three wheelchair areas for riders who prefer to remain in their chair. Customers can also transfer to a standard seat, if desired. Fold-down seats are also provided, allowing anyone traveling with a mobility device user to sit close by. An accessible restroom is adjacent to the wheelchair seating area.
