Midwest Trains 2024

[@pengethebluearrow]

1:59 Bruh Metra 411 blaring it’s horn through town, it’s crazy! Plus the K5LA is bloody beautiful to listen to my ears!

[@CoasterFan2105]

I was very surprised to hear it! I don’t remember any of the MP36s with K5LAs that sounded that nice!

[@Railfantastic]

Man, it's nice to see a CoasterFan video in the Midwest!

[@CoasterFan2105]

It was nice to visit! Hopefully many more times in the future!

I do not think you could've picked a better thumbnail for this video Mike. Again, great work!!!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Well thank you! I had a few finalists for the thumbnail but settled on this one as the best choice. I always like those train meet scenes!

[@adventuresofamtrakcascades301]

This one was easily the best

[@MattS_Filmography]

I love that you had a shot of the Chatham depot at 9:51. I am a board member there, and would love to give you a tour next time you're in town. You caught us at the worst time, we were repainting the building into a more realistic Chicago & Alton color. It's since been finished now.

[@CoasterFan2105]

That would be awesome! I'll try to let you know next time I'm in town. I bet it looks great in the new paint!

[@MattS_Filmography]

@@CoasterFan2105 Awesome! We have plenty of historical artifacts from railroads all over Central Illinois, we think you'll absolutely love it!

The Midwest is definitely one of the best places for railfanning in all of North America. Nice video!

[@AMTK317Productions]

Was at Chicago,IL and through Minnesota and Wisconsin, part of the Midwest back in mid-June. All those catches are wonderful. I'd come back to the Midwest soon!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you! It’s a great region for seeing trains.

[@jamiezizzo1874]

Hey Mike, when you did the electric commuter train single level, I actually saw one of those and I and in I forgot the state name but like the power plant in the background is actually I’ve actually passed through there. I’m from Wisconsin. Love you Mike. Also, your videos are always great. I’ve been watching your videos since I was four and now I’m nine.

[@Konkanikenny]

The horn of the steam locomotives are amazing. A treat to listen to☺

It's great to see some Midwest trains, Mike! Being from Iowa, I love the opening scene of the Boone & Scenic Valley RR. That's a fun excursion, especially if you're there on the weekends when they're running the steam locomotive.

[@canadianrailfanproductions7630]

@ 0:41 Sounds Like the K5LAs GO Had on Their MP40s, Until they Replaced Them with K5CAs in 2012.

W video as always! Also, when were you at GLN (Glenview)? That’s my local metra! 8:01 I saw that train at NBK! And your GLN Curve shots are amazing! When I was starting out, that’s exactly where I would set up. Love it there. I only stopped because of the parking poles blocking my shots

[@railfangarrett6313]

I really like the night scene at 6:38

[@CoasterFan2105]

There was one P42 running on the Chicago to St Louis trains while I was out there and I tried so hard to catch them on the 110 MPH segments. I finally just waited one night for the southbound to come through around 10:30 at night. It ended up being the only scene I got with a P42 going over 100 MPH!

[@Ferrocarril_Chicago]
