This three-car set includes cab car #811 and coaches #751 and #778, finished in the distinctive Metra commuter scheme featuring the modern BNSF Swoosh logo and BNSF Railway nameboards. Representing commuter operations from the mid-2000s to the present, these detailed stainless steel bi-level passenger cars are an excellent addition to N scale layouts modeling Chicago's busy suburban rail network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally developed by the Budd Company, gallery commuter cars were designed to accommodate growing suburban passenger traffic while maintaining efficient boarding and unloading at busy stations. Their distinctive bi-level interior arrangement featured upper seating galleries overlooking the center aisle, allowing conductors to check tickets from the lower level. Stainless steel construction, wide center doors, and increased passenger capacity made these cars a familiar sight throughout Chicago's commuter rail network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the introduction of BNSF Railway's updated corporate identity in the mid-2000s, commuter equipment operating over former Burlington Northern routes began displaying the modern BNSF Swoosh logo. These gallery cars retained their familiar Metra passenger appearance while incorporating updated BNSF identification, including the BNSF Railway nameboards represented by this set. They are ideal for modelers recreating contemporary Metra commuter operations along Chicago's western suburban routes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIncluded Cars – Metra BNSF Swoosh Set #2\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCab Car:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metra BNSF #811\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoach:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metra BNSF #751\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoach:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metra BNSF #778\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis three-car set includes one cab-equipped gallery car and two matching passenger coaches.
