On the older Metra Electric Passenger Cars the windows are clear and not tinted.

The newer Metra Electric Passenger Cars windows are tinted and a little harder to see out of.

The new Metra Electric passenger cars do have larger windows to see throw.

And the windows are tinted too.

The sounds you are hearing are the electric electronic accelerator motors.

The electric accelerator motors on the new passenger cars do make odd sounds.

On the older hi liner passenger cars it is a little harder to hear the accelerator motors running.

The seats in those new silver cars are beast comfortable, but what's with that annoying descending pitch when the train decelerates?
