Metra Trains (January 2019)

Metra trains in Franklin Park & just outside of downtown Chicago. January 2019. I'll be coming back to Chicago in August 2019 for more Metra action!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Nice, Spencer! Glad to see those spots worked out for you!

[@spencerhughes2255]

[@MiddleboroLakevilleRailfan]

Really nice job must of put a lot of time and work into this

[@Mrcharles.]

I feel like the commuter cars aren’t ADA compliance also I’m not a big fan of bi-level rail cars.

You were lucky to get these shots before the winter storm brought one hell of a lot of snow.

[@SamLovesTrains]

Awesome video! Hope you get to see Metra 405 and the F59PHIs on your next visit!

[@theafrench79]

My 3-year-old loves watching this video. He is such a train nut like me.

[@lreviews63]

I want more Metra videos please. Can you do one in Naperville?

[@WorldWideOfTrainsAndTrucks]

SpencerHuges2255 do a video in Franklin Park, IL it's a awesome spot it even has a railyard!

[@Chqnces]

Awesome footage!

[@therailthing610]

Man, Metra trains can get pretty long. Ours tend to be six cars at most.

[@oct197.]

11 cars is the maximum

[@ryans4116]

@@oct197. oh never no new that, I 8new cta tra8ns were 8 max

[@Greatlakesrailfan]

3:49 he didn’t film it at the time because it was still December 😆 Overall this was great SpencerHuges knows how to rock Chicago land rails

[@spencerhughes2255]

Thanks! However, January 2019 was my very first time to Chicago.

[@QuickBurn70]

Maybe in August check out Berwyn/LaVergne station. It's on the racetrack, and Metra's Zone B trains stop there. The rest of them, as well as the Amtraks blow through at around 70 mph. The entrance to BNSF's Clyde yard (CHC) is next door, and CN's overpass is right there. It's a quiet zone, but sometimes you'll get a horn when the head-end of one passes the rear of another at a crossing.

[@dannygayler90]

Most enjoyable , Thank You again !

[@BorisLu]

Super video!

[@D2Kprime]

I wished Amtrak still used the F40PH (and I mean as main locomotives and not NPCUs.)

[@ryans4116]

It’s 59
