Metra Electric District
The Metra Electric District 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 District are printed in bright "Panama orange" to reflect the line's origins with the Illinois Central Railroad (IC) and its ''Panama Limited'' passenger train. It is also the only Metra line that is solely a commuter route, which means no freight trains operate on this route. Instead, freight trains operate on tracks that are adjacent to the route. Its suburban operations line is the shortest on Metra's system, only running to fare zone G. If all the branches were combined, they would reach to zone J. It is also the only line with two downtown stations. During rush hours some trains do not reach Van Buren Street or Millennium Station.
It is the only Metra line powered by overhead catenary, and the only one with three branches. Trains operate on 1500 volts direct current, and all stations have high-level platforms. Its main line north of Kensington is shared by NICTD's South Shore Line, an electric interurban line through northern Indiana to South Bend.
It is one of Metra's busiest rail lines, and the only one with significant off-peak and Saturday service. In total, 92 trains run according to the Monday-Saturday public timetable. Of these, 29 reach University Park. Of the other trains that run on the University Park (Main) branch, 5 terminate at Flossmoor and 5 at Harvey. A sizable portion of the trains running on the South Chicago and Blue Island branches terminate at 63rd Street.
Service on the line is also some of the most frequent in the entire Metra system. Off-peak and Saturday service on the main line runs hourly. During many times of the day, including Saturday, trains can sometimes arrive at Millennium Station close to every minute.
