Metra is investigating whether a former employee tried to shakedown a production company working on the movie Source Code.
According to the Daily Herald , the former employee tried to get an extra $2,000 on a contract for the use of Metra railcars in a movie scene.
A second Metra official is under investigation for a similar issue.
Metra trains have been used in a number of movies, including My Best Friend's Wedding and Transformers.
