Editing Union Pacific Railroad (section)

===Commuter services===
When Union Pacific bought out the [[Chicago & North Western Transportation Company|Chicago & North Western]] in 1995, it inherited the railroad's [[Metra]] commuter rail services in the [[Chicago metropolitan area]]: the [[Union Pacific North Line]] to [[Kenosha, Wisconsin]], [[Union Pacific Northwest Line|Northwest Line]] to [[Harvard, Illinois]], and [[Union Pacific West Line|West Line]] to [[Elburn, Illinois]], all of which operate from [[Ogilvie Transportation Center]] (the former North Western Station–a name still used by many Chicago residents). In order to ensure uniformity across the Chicago area commuter rail system, trains are branded as Metra services and use Metra equipment. However, Union Pacific crews continue to operate the trains under a purchase-of-service agreement.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Lassen |first=David |date=July 22, 2020 |title=STB filings detail Metra, UP disagreement (updated) |url=https://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2020/07/22-stb-filings-detail-metra-up-disagreement |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200729164742/https://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2020/07/22-stb-filings-detail-metra-up-disagreement |archive-date=July 29, 2020 |access-date=July 29, 2020 |agency=Trains Magazine}}</ref><ref name="Metra-History">{{Cite web |date=August 10, 2018 |title=Metra History |url=https://metrarail.com/about-metra/our-history |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190308002617/https://www.metrarail.com/about-metra/our-history |archive-date=March 8, 2019 |access-date=August 10, 2018 |publisher=Metra}}</ref> In 2023, UP announced its intentions to surrender the control and operation of commuter rail services and trains in Chicago to [[Metra]], however the UP would retain ownership and control of the right-of-ways of former [[Chicago & Northwestern]] lines radiating from Chicago.
