My brother rode this line from Union station to Jacksonville Ill, to attend MacMurray college. That was in 1963. It was then the GM&O.

16:48

4 trains between 2 hours and 30 minutes is not that bad

One big slow order. I hope things have improved.

How was this a bad day? No Bnsf?

UP=Union Pacific. This was initially a Chicago & Northwestern Railroad line to Clinton, lowa.

18:10, that horn is 🔥

Why no horn but a constant bell?

You need to go between 4 and 8 PM

Amazing catches! Love that Union Pacific local running through

Beautiful train horn 😌👍. Nice Graham White Electronic Bell 😀👍.

Great video!

The Gilman Jct merging tracks 18:00 at one time was used for the St. Louis-Chicago Illinois Central Passenger Trains.

Turn off the !*#@! turn signals!

Also I’m just wondering about the ringtone of the locomotive F95PHI is fast tone and how come they stop the slow tone ring?

2:09 Best Hybrid K3LA ever!

What year was the 25th Ave. overhead bridge constructed? I retired in 2013 from the UP as a hogger and do NOT remember anything about the 25th Ave. bridge! My, how things change!

What year did the UP add the 3rd rail between Elmhurst and JN?

Do you know what the names of the passenger cars are for the RailGiants Excursion were

Nice shot, I hope yall were wearing masks on that day when outside. The air quality was fucking smoky

Great video! Just subbed!

The NS train you were parallel with was a K3LA horn, very similar to Union Pacific

Looks like a good day to me.

Wish they would sound the horns nowadays.

Back when we lived in South Bend, that airport was known as the St. Joseph County Airport. Only turboprop planes could land; the runway was too short for jets.

Go steam engines!!!!!

Did you use a camcorder for this?

The same thing happened to me. I'm pretty sure it's only a focus issue.

Tip: hold down your tripod firmly lol, this happened to me once on a way slower freight train

I see this station 4 times a week from afar nice to see it up close tho

I can't believe that F59PHI F40PH are now being equpte with wabtec display screen inside the cabs and I don't know if the cab cars are equpte with it was well

24:29 wow those trains were close to each on the same track

20:24 congrats on catching 402 before is became a heritage unit

4:24 that’s some nice horn action

6961’s horn

OMG 15:30 JJ's!

Awesome catches I might think about getting camera also i am a new subscriber let’s get you to 1k!

Did You Know there used to Be Another Station Here Called Lockport/5th Street. the Station Closed in 1988. The Station was also a Flag Stop. The Station was Located Right Here 7:17. also nice video

Amtrak is becoming to basic, I used to love them with there p42s f40s and dash 8, f59phi now it’s just chargers on pretty much all Amtrak trains :(

Cool

Amtrak Capitol Corridor San Joaquin and Piedmont still has F59PHIs

For the very first time since 2014, The Big Boy climbs over Cajon Pass in Southern California.

Nice video

Enjoyed your video. I recently made a video of the loop. Thanks for sharing!

When did the line get truncated from ending downtown South Bend, at the river at it's own yard, to Bendix Airport, or South Bend Airport??

I ran that line everyday from Glenn yard to Markham. Boring.... So glad to get out of railroading..Lol

I love the route. Sadly, there was a man playing his music without headphones on. When I used to volunteer at the airport, they stated that if you spot anything suspicious to let Metro security know. But just so you are safe, wait until the suspect is off the train or you get off and far away from the system so that way, you can't be spotted by the suspect. The fellow playing the radio could be friends with a man that has a gun. At 7:27, we see the shops where these train cars are kept and it's where the train cars are fixed if there is a defect onboard. At 14:04 is the Forest Park station and that is where the Red Line and Blue line spit up. I went on a Transit Oriented Development tour with Citizens for Modern Transit. As I hear, there are long range plans for more Transit Oriented Development. You see some signs of TOD shortly after when the line pulls out of the Clayton Station. You have The Boulevard at the Galleria station, and you have some more TOD near the Brentwood I-64 stop. Just recently more of it popped up in Maplewood at Sunnen.

Hey I Live In Summit

They might as well just close of the crossings during rush hour.
