Genuinely the only real commuter rail in the US outside of NJ Transit Rail and maybe Metra if you're feeling extremely generous. (hexbear.net)

If you exclude the suburb lines (which aren't THAT bad), Chicago's train lines are top tier and improving all the time. Really good commuter lines and I think a model for how other US cities should function. A bit more expansion of the sururban lines and better interlinking outside of downtown would make Chicago's trains world class I think.
