The cars with the BNSF logos are owned by BNSF and leased to Metra - they're holdovers from when CB&Q owned and operated the commuter service. And yes, those cars are 60+ years old!
@KCSLines No. Metra And Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Company Had Not Merged. Metra Has A Line From Aurora To Chicago As Seen Here Which Metra Has Trackage Authority Over Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Trackage Which The Equipment Is Operated By Metra But The Train Crew Including The Conductor And Engineer On This Line Are An Employee Of The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Company Which Might Explain The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Logo On The Siding Of Each Passenger Car.

Damn, you actually HAVE stuff running by your platforms...unlike me. I'll be lucky to catch a local job in daylight where I'm at on the NEC.
