RTA and Metra Gallery Cars

Commuter rail services in and around Chicago were struggling in the 1970s, and with the transition of individual inter-city routes being absorbed and taken over by the government-controlled Amtrak, there was a similar push for commuter rail lines to be taken over. In 1974, the RTA, or Regional Transportation Agency, was formed to manage commuter rail, bus lines, and rapid transit, within the Chicago Area. They would slowly take control over various commuter rail routes, from railroads such as the Burlington Route, the Rock Island Line, the Milwaukee Road, and of course, the Chicago and North Western. And finally, in the summer of 1985, the Metra brand was created to unify and market commuter rail services to and from Chicago.

This pack includes four repaints of Dadang Ngegame's amazing gallery cars, Pullman gallery coach and cab cars, in both the basic RTA scheme, and Metra scheme.

This is essentially a functional continuation of my previous reskin of Chicago and North Western E8 locomotives, as many ex-CNW E8 locomotives saw use with RTA, and later, Metra.

Also thanks to the following:

• Dadang Ngegame, for their amazing gallery car models, and providing the resources to reskin it.
  
• The Transport Fever North America Discord server, which had plenty of resources and people willing to help out.
  
• The Transport Fever 2 Wiki, their instructions on setting up the Model Editor were essential.
  
• You, the people viewing this and downloading this skin! I was blown away with the positive response from my CNW E8s, that it really encouraged me to do more.
