Metra Trains 2024

[@adventuresofamtrakcascades301]

The Railfan treasure trove of a railroad!! If you’re looking for a commuter train that operates EMDs and nothing else, then Metra is for you!

[@CoasterFan2105]

That sums it up pretty well!

[@JimmyTheMidwestRailfanner]

​@@CoasterFan2105My favorite Trains are Freight Trains but I like Passenger Trains.

[@JimmyTheMidwestRailfanner]

​@@CoasterFan2105Oh btw I'll give you a shout out in one of my Train Videos.

[@kevp9601]

HAPPY FRIDAY, FRIEND ! !

[@Railfanning_Wisconsin97]

This used to be my childhood railroad, I miss them so much. Great catches!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks!

[@Rails-Of-Illinois]

Well... at least you got Kenosha, but there's basically nothing

[@edtierney6076]

I love my AM power naps commuting on Metra's southwest service. So much better then driving to work

[@jacorp7476]

I know it's nostalgic but I really hope Metra gets some rolling stock that looks like it's from this century soon lol

[@CoasterFan2105]

They should be getting some new Alstom cars in the next few years!

[@AMTK317Productions]

As a person who went to Chicago in the summer, I can identify that Metra is one of the best but biggest commuter rails in the Illinois area. I have taken two of their lines before (MD-N the most, BNSF Line to Berwyn, IL once).

[@LakeCountyRails2022]

I love Metra trains, and I love filming Metra trains. Now that i live in FL, I haven't seen one in a while. Thanks for sharing this awesome video!

[@CoasterFan2105]

No problem! Thanks for watching!

[@Filip19021]

I must admit that you are the best railway 🚃 KZbinr always watched you as a kid! And I still do❤️

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks so much! Really appreciate it!

[@ARailHunter]

No problem!

[@MichaelMitchRailfan2009]

I have never rode metra trains in Chicago but, those old locomotives will be forever ongoing

[@pengethebluearrow]

Can’t we agree that that Metra’s MP36MPH K5LAs (and P5s) are so majestic to hear???

[@rmorzy75]

Yea

[@easternroutemainlinevideos6823]

Wish the 2 the MBTA had were equipped with K5LAs lol

[@Corolla2014-wy3xj]

Thank you for my childhood

[@CrazyMarioRailfan2105]

Hands down my favorite passenger railway in Illinois.

[@derrickwong5337]

Hello Mike, an interesting video about the METRA passenger trains. I like that many of the F59PH and F59PHI locomotives are still in use. Thanks for the great video and have a nice Sunday. Best regards from Germany.

[@SPRailfan4449]

Great video! Metra will always be one of the most loved passenger rail services in the Railfan Community and this video shows why. ❤️👍😎

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you! Metra is a really interesting commuter rail operation. I always enjoy seeing it when I'm in the Chicago area. Thanks for watching!

[@isaiahwiley396]

Best Metra commuter train video ever ❤😊keep it up on KZbin.

[@angelhuerta1626]

I had no idea there was a freight diesel in the metra trans service to that’s cool

[@Peruanoferroaficionado]

What a great video my friend, great beasts 👏

Metra SD70MAC 0:36 THAT IS METRA ON SD70MAC

[@SeptaShorts]

I live close to Naperville station so I railfan there almost every day

[@SeptaShorts]

Why does the BNSF line only have F40s while the other lines get the new locomotives and the F59

[@YaBoiKnox]

The BNSF line were supposed to get the MACH’s but BNSF being BNSF (petty) they didn’t want them because it had a 710 engine instead of a 645 which all the other F40’s have. So to answer your question, (in short) blame BNSF.

[@BoogeyManHuants]

Do you know where you railfanned in the first clip?

[@MikasRealm]

I miss these trains 🚂 😢❤

[@coolleo149]

I’ve seen a few bit of Metra trains when I was in Chicago, but all the crossings that I saw, had quiet zones. Which places are good to railfan for me next time with crossings having the horns sounded

[@CoasterFan2105]

Most of the system is a quiet zone, but there are still a few crossings that aren't. Thanks for watching!

[@AMTK90200]

Rockland Rd in Rondout, IL is a good spot for that

[@MercOne]

Brings back so many memories.

[@Spiritcantfly]

Good video, I live in this area, and I have seen a lot. Glad you’re back!

[@Yacoob442]

Sometimes I railfan at the Canal Street portal, and all of these locomotives you recorded are coming in and out every 10-ish minutes. Have you ever tried that spot?

[@CoasterFan2105]

I have not gone to that specific spot yet, but hopefully next time I'm in Chicago.

[@AMTK90200]

Nice video, Metra is one of my favorite railroads.

[@TrainFreak123]

Love the videos man I always watch these videos and when I was a child🙏

[@PrincessAmtrakMinamoto]

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks!

[@TomahTrains-261-75]

Very nice compilation of Metra trains! Thanks for sharing. I have quite a few of the new Borealis consists and the long standing Empire Builder around our area. Maybe a 'longer compilation of our summer sites is in order. Hmmm Your videos are top quality.

This railroad must be run entirely by railfans. Literally an all EMD fleet!! My favorite type of locomotive!

Will you make a vid on The Metra Bi- level Gallery Cars?

[@metramdnrailfan]

Beautiful!!!

[@JohnAckerman31]

Awesome video! Great catches too!

[@mitchpravatiner5600]

A few of the trains shown have one car that's painted blue (possibly with white trim), rather than the usual bare metal (for want of a better term). What is different about the blue cars?

[@threepea1151]

Mike what is the status with 2105? It’s still in storage along with ATSF 5704. I also heard something about the SCRM trying to acquire a CalTrain F40, you have any new info?

[@brucetharpe762]

Hey Mike! What are your favorite Metra lines from greatest to least? Just curious!

[@CoasterFan2105]

It's hard to pick just one. I really like the Milwaukee West line because I think it has the best variety of photo locations, but they're all interesting and unique!

These seem more like "real" trains than el "trains" of the CTA. Must be the locomotives and the railroad crossings. 7:45 - Great shot of the Sears . . . I mean, "Willis" tower.

[@hyuga571]

this is very cool to see, I wonder what locos Metra use?

[@angelhuerta1626]

Does anybody know what are the models of those diesels?

They are SD70MACH units. SD70MAC freight locomotives with added Head end power capabilities.
