Metra Electric Holiday Train, Followed by a Regular Train

I believe that commuter trains have feelings, and the plain-Jane train that had to follow that Metra Electric Holiday Train at 2:50 had to be simmering with sibling resentment.

 

"We were both built by Nippon Sharyo. Our pantographs touch the same overhead wires -- our wheels roll on the same tracks. So what's the big deal with THAT one!? Some red and green lights strung on the outside? Holiday tourists with reserved seats inside? This family! Hmmm!! If I don't get to be Holiday Train NEXT year... just you wait!"
