"METRA COMMUTERS! YOU'RE ATTENTION PLEASE! THE NEXT METRA TRAIN APPROACHING WILL BE A METRA EXPRESS TRAIN AND WILL NOT STOP!"
Calling all Metra Railfans! Make sure to stay behind the yellow line for this fun video. This video project was certainly a fun one to put together. In this video, we look back at Metra Express Trains throughout the years. Most of the train clips are from the Metra BNSF Line since it happens to be Metra's busiest commuter line. Luckily, we were able to still see some Metra Express Trains on other lines too. Hold onto your cameras for the oncoming Metra Express Trains in this video! Enjoy!

What kind of stations do metra express trains only stop at?

[@ATrain4014]

Different Metra trains bypass certain train stations based on the schedules listed online. Hope this helps answer your question.

[@TrucksNTrains-m6x]

what was that spark on the second metra?

[@user-te9br5sr8h]

The Cow-Catcher (the plow on the bottom of the train, or infront of the bogies which are called train wheels) struck the grade crossing road at high speed
