Field trips on metra

Last Tuesday on I was taking the 12:35 out of downtown when a School group from Kenosha that was on a field trip came on. They let them use one of the closed off cars, has any come across a school field trip using Metra before? Thanks

The South Shore reserves cars for school groups ... it sounds like a good idea to keep the kids with their chaperones instead of spread throughout cars with other patrons.

Back in the day, toward the end of service, there were a number of field trips on the PATrain between Pittsburgh and Versailles. I think you could have an exclusive occupancy car for something like $100.

When I was in high school taking a photography class everyone on a trip made arrangements to take Metra since school buses were always way too slow in the morning.
