I dont know if you guys read the General Discussion now since it hasnt been updated, but is there any work in progress Cab Cars for railworks? (US). Plus, i would love to see these cab cars:

Amtrak Surfliner (Top) Tri-Rail (Bottom)

IIRC somebody here is working on a Pacific Surfliner route. I can't remember who it was or how far along they are though

Looks like these Cab Cars will be a great source for their Prototypical layout.

I hope we see a cab car soon! Maybe even a Chicago transit route!

Keep dreaming. I'll believe it when I'm downloading it.
There's no route to run Metra on "YET" !*don-know!*
Although there is a Chicago route right around the corner. I hope-I hope.

Yeah but a Metra route would require A LOT of work... I don't think that will happen anytime soon. Looks like RSC may be doing some metrolink though

They would only have to do one. Either the CB&Q out of Union Station west to Aurora. Or The Chicago Northerwestern to Crystal Lake or The Chicago South Shore line to Michigan City Ind.

How would Metra require a lot? Modeling? Lets hope RSC will do Cab Cars.

It seems as if you haven't been to Chicago Union Station and seen ALL of those switches and tracks. And just about any route requires a lot of work. More than you'd think.
