Paint Schemes
Metra's coaches do not have any paint except a white Metra logo against a rectangular blue background, and the cab cars also have red and white warning stripes on their fronts. Metra's oldest locomotives are painted blue, with a bit of orange at the top. On each side of the locomotive there is Metra's logo painted white. On the nose, there are red and white warning stripes. Because of the metallic vents on the F40C, the Metra logo is placed more near the back. Otherwise, the F40Cs are painted the same. Metra's MP36PH-3S locomotives have the same warning stripes and the same logo as Metra's old locomotives, but instead of orange at the top, there is white. There is a little bit of black below the white. The sides have light-blue paint and the blue gets darker near the back. In between the black and blue paints, there are two small orange stripes with some red in the middle.
