Union Pacific/North Line
The Union Pacific/North (UP-N) is a commuter rail line in the Chicago metropolitan area that runs between Chicago and Waukegan, Illinois, with some trains continuing to Kenosha, Wisconsin. It is part of the Metra system, but it is operated by the Union Pacific Railroad (UP). While Metra does not specifically refer to any of its lines by a particular color, the timetable accents for the Union Pacific/North line are printed in dark "Flambeau Green". The colors came from the company colors of the Chicago & North Western Railway, while "Flambeau" refers to the C&NW's Flambeau 400 passenger train. Before 1995, this line was known as the Chicago & Northwestern/North Line, until the C&NW was bought and absorbed by the Union Pacific.
