If you laid all the track in METRA

the Metra system end to BY THE
end, you’d have a stretch
of track 1,155 miles long – NUMBERS
enough to get from Chicago
to Disney World in Orlando,
Florida. Even if you just measured the routes
(not counting sections that are double- or
triple-tracked), you get 488 route miles –
the same as from Chicago to Nashville.
