N scale models of commute trains in the San Francisco, Chicago and New York areas

Fred Klein, 2015, 2016

 

Southern Pacific ran commute service on the San Francisco peninsula until Caltrain took over the service in 1985. I have San Francisco trains that span the whole time period from World War II until the present. In Chicago, each parent railroad ran is own commute service until the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) and later Metra took over in the early 1980s.
