The Racetrack DLC is by far one of my favorite DLCs as there are so many opportunities to run both passenger and freight service from several railroads. However, I feel as though we could use more Metra content including new locomotives, rolling stock, and maybe another route. My suggestions for new locomotives include Metra's F40PHM-3s, MP36PH-3S/Cs (including units painted in heritage schemes), and F59PH/PHis. For rolling stock, I suggest the additions of the Budd and Morrison-Knudsen/Amerail Gallery Cars. (Coach only for the Budd cars) A typical Metra F40PHM-3, photo credit goes to Metra.

Some new Metra stuff would be nice to see. I've been wanting an F40PHM-3 added to the game for a while now. Maybe even a new route as well like the Rock Island district?
This would be great! Metra deserves a lot more attention. The Electric District would be amazing too!
I would love the Electric district, it and the South Shore are the only electrified heavy-rail commuter operations in the Midwest.
