With all the hubub lately about diesel fumes and how they do/don't cause cancer for Metra riders, it's no surprise Metra is measuring their air quality. Today a man was seated in a lawn chair next to track 4 at Randolph Terminal, with a giant box reading: "Metra Air Quality Checking". It is a surprise they're on the platform at Randolph... Wonder how much diesel particulate is down there?
That said, the guy did not look like a railroad employee - he was wearing track pants and a dark coat. T&E folks have uniforms, carmen and techs wear hardhats and visi-vests, and station people wear station uniforms. It was a little suspicious.
