Man, I miss trains in Chicago. Living in Austin almost 20 years, I forgot what all you can see. Even a trip to the Ft. Worth railroad sites doesn’t compare!

[@Watsonincorporated]

Eyy another Austinite! Even though there's not as much rail traffic in Austin, there's a few cool spots you can visit for trains- like the McNeil Post Office, which has some cool views since it's where the Union Pacific and Metro Rail lines intersect, plus there's a big limestone refinery nearby.

[@kirkzevola5004]

Excellent Metra catches love those F40s F40PHMS F59PH & F59PHIs they are looking sharp

[@MrLife-jv5dz]

Yes they look and sound great!!! I hope Metra will get new cab cars soon....they look a bit odd to me. They could possibly go with Bombardier cab cars with a new livery. I do know that takes time and money but it's definitely something Metra should look into.

Sam loves trains around Chicago is brilliant it brings the whole rail scene to a Uk based railfan alive. Loads of locations and great locos love both main diesels around now

[@travisbecker770]

As a California railfanner who adores Chicago trains, this video was pure awesomeness!

[@SuperDave30]

Ever since I was little boy, I love the design of F40PH locomotive, After they are amazing 😉, I love passenger trains like Amtrak and commuter trains like Metra of Chicago and CalTrain of San Francisco! I glad Metra uses old Amtrak F40PH locomotives and CalTrain of San Francisco as well!

[@themetrafan7198]

Nice video of Metra trains that you premierd on 25 February 2019, Sam! This video just appeared in my suggested videos to watch list on 5 December 2021. You must have premiered this video before I subscribed to your KZbin channel. I enjoyed watching it!

[@lindsaymoore7232]

Another great video Sam!! How do you know where to go to capture these trains?? Do you have a location guide or maps that you use? Do you film south shore trains on the south side? Amtrak long distance trains?

[@SamLovesTrains]

Thanks! I use a train tracker called ATCS and asm.transitdocs.com for Amtrak trains. I've filmed a few south shore line trains and a good amount of long distance Amtrak trains.

[@tbird2013]
