Enjoyed this video. I used to take the South Chicago branch to work when I got my first Job at the Lakeside Press in1960. I rode the Metra Electric university park line for 38 years. I moved to North Carolina in 1999. I'm 81 years old and can still call the stops on all 3 branches. The crews on Metra electric were my best friends. When I went to college at night they were all interested in my studies. At that time most had never gone to college. These .memories all come back to me when I watch these videos. I never realized that I could take vitual rides on my cell until I got a smart phone. They were the first videos I viewed. Guess I got lonely

Metra really needs to step up their game when it comes to this line. There’s too many crossovers, curves, and slow zones!

It's standard procedure that all trains in Canada, Mexico, Australia (not required), & North/South America use them when approaching stations, crossings, going through tunnels or passing other trains, etc.

It’s because we have a stupid policy in America that requires train to make a lot of noise so people know a train is coming. But I don’t know why Metra Electric has the bell on continuously

@russell7926: If you live right by or right near the tracks this bell can be really unnerving. It would be a real nuisance to hear this bell all night long and you're trying to sleep. I remember the old Dark Green IC PULLMAN STANDARD CARS have a bell that's like the trolleys of the New Orleans street cars that's like a school alarm that just be sounded occasionally such as when leaving stations.
