[@nickolaslewis4651]

Cool video! I drive this often from Chicago on my way to the outlet mall or Blue Chip.

[@JCBMUSICGROUP]

You drive it?

[@patrickgawthrop4813]

I love the free music you got

[@CharlieND]

Why hello there

[@markpettigrew3482]

I took a Metra trip from Chicago to Mishiwaka, Indiana, when I contemplated moving there. I'm glad that I later moved to Bellingham, Washington instead.

"I can barely hear you on this Mickey Mouse fuckin' telephone." This conversation at the beginning is CLASSIC.

"I can't pull the emergency cord, it's against federal regulations."

[@albertcarello619]

@nuothe11th: My phone service is a joke too! Verizon Customer Service unsatisfactory! Poor connections.

[@Phantom1963]

Cool video!! Thanks !!!

[@SkandikFilm]

The train runs in the middle of the street, but it's not a tram.

[@thephantomeagle2]

Yup, it's called Street running and has done so for a long long time.

[@carmichaeltrainproductionc9663]

This is really cool!!!

[@LSM_Lover]

awesome video

[@ceciltagg]

The sceme from a train going Down a street seeing side streets glide by feels and looks strange to me looking at the chairs and tables on people's front porches where they have a cup of coffee and cake seeing that from a train is really strange to me

[@tyhik9338]

I need to catch these guys.

[@Robbi496]

Always a great ride :)

[@MPIEMDRailfan4]

Great video.

[@Texas80]

Great video yet the train seems to run really slowly! Maybe I was expecting this to be the 110mph train.

[@NYCentralSpotter1070]

Too many sharp curves.

[@BoratWanksta]

Actually on the South Shore there aren't a lot of sharp curves, except for a few portions of track. I.e. when the train curves from 10th to 11th Street west of the downtown Michigan City stop, the curving the tracks do just before the South Bend Airport stop(and why NICTD has proposed moving the station to the west side of that airport, along with a new track route connecting to the existing tracks to shave something like 10-15 minutes off of travel time), the junction to/from Metra Electric tracks at 115th Street(this can sometimes be a chokepoint causing delays to South Shore trains, heck I experienced this going east on Saturday 2/17/18, along w/4 westbound trains), to name the only curves I can think of. Honestly, it's more a problem of speed limits being a little slower than they once were, decades ago.

[@SkandikFilm]

what's that ramp in the middle of the train ?

[@SGaidukov]

+SkandikFilm These are so called bi-level gallery cars. The use those ramp in the middle of the car as a luggage storage :)

[@IntIndividuals]

Excellent.Please look at the Interesting Individuals youtube sight to see many vidceos of people and places in Michigan City!! Bill Landing.

[@CSullivanmeerkatmandude]

Good Video.

[@jefferymarker6051]

Very enjoyable video. However always watch your language, you forgot to remove that "classic telephone comment." However, you still won me over....."ochen xorosha!!!

[@Earthmoonstars-el6rd]

Right on the street with cars, you have to be kidding me.

[@atomstarfireproductions8695]

This line has existed for over 100 years. Back then, this was very common. This is one of the few remaining currently.

[@marksmith4235]

Prior to. R. R relocation in. Lafayette. In. The. Monon. R. R was located in the middle of. 5th. Street which. Was a very busy area in. Lafayette.

[@CharlieND]

This line is so bizarre

[@cats0182]

No. Not really. It is the last of what was almost a network of Interurban Railways that connected small towns and rural areas with major cities. In the Chicago area, there used to be the Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee, the Chicago Aurora and Elgin and probably others that I'm not aware of.

[@Kinopanorama1]

Information about the stations and the railway crossings would have been appreciated. Thumbs down.

[@SGaidukov]

+Kinopanorama Widescreen Preservation Association Incorporated I am going to add this information later. Firstly I want to publish all raw footage. I still didn't publish all train rides in 2014, not metion 2015.

[@tyhik9338]

Sergei Gaidukov I didn't hear the noise that the train makes every time it slows down
