Metra will be borrowing a brand new DMU set built by Nippon Sharyo for Metrolinx this weekend. The train will be testing on the main between Blue Island and LaSalle Friday during non-rush hours. It will also test Saturday and Sunday during the day. Metra will have personnel on board evaluating their performance. This is 100% legit.
I have no info as to what service they're interested in running DMUs on, but my gut tells me it's some sort of service expansion. Ridership is too high on all current lines for them with the exception of the Heritage.
