The METRA ELECTRIC TRAINS are what you'd call bi-level Light Rail Trolleys running in their own road bed on 71st STREET and Exchange Avenue.

Thanks for the memory, I was born in an apartment on the corner of 18th and Hoyne. In the 50's and mid 60's I would walk up the Ramp/ Driveway of the Western Ave switcher office and was always greeted very well. I took a ride down with a SW or NW switchers from the main level to the back alleys of 17th street and we did some switching of Grain cars from the small Grainery on 17th and Damen. Now an Apartment complex. I went to grammar school on 18th place and Paulina St. Vitus and for couple of years (1958-59) me and sometime a friend during lunch time would run to what we called the Three Way. Cermak, Ashland and Blue Island, and watch the switching and traffic mess it caused. My engineer friends from Westen Ave would sometimes be able to give me a list of times switching would be going on at that location. I would take Kodak 8mm movie camera and record all that I could. Sadly, all movies were lost in a move while I was in Nam. I worked at H. Kramer 21st and Loomis for a while and they had metal scrap loads delivered from the Q and sometimes a full load of Brass, Broze and Aluminum Ingots to ship out. I see just a small area left open on the route to Cermak rd. 2007 google still shows the tracks in the street. Thanks again.

These horns reminds me of the Old South Shore Line Cars built by PULLMAN STANDARD in 1926-1929.

What time of the day do they usually run? Ik the tracks after the first crossing are gone, but there are still industries before it. Asking because I'm usually there in the morning, like you said.

Great camera work and audio! I grew up in Chicago in the 50s, and have a vivid memory of a steam locomotive crossing a viaduct over Cicero Avenue in the winter, pushing a huge column of smoke and steam into the sky!
