I like Trains

[@Chescat124]

Respect

[@Theferryguy6648]

Oh

[@Chescat124]

As a railfan, I have huge respect for this video, you should do railfanning and planes

[@elliottbriggs3385]

HUGE Amtrak fan here, glad to see that you are trying it out also! Recently took the train from Emeryville (which is in the San Francisco bay area) to Chicago which was a nice journey

[@ice711real]

That’s one long ride!

[@bnsfgevoproductions]

The locomotive leading was a General Electric P42DC, which are being phased out because they're 20+ years old now and the passenger cars you rode in are Siemens Venture, which are replacing the Amfleet and Horizon cars 40-50 years old! Great to see another train video from you. You honestly should go railfanning soon and something new to your channel, which means more subscribers, likes, and viewers.

[@P42_foamer]

P42s are my favorite type of passenger locomotives

[@ice711real]

Thanks for the info, I was wondering what kind of locomotive powered the train, but I’m not into it enough to know 😂 the rail fan community sure seems like a pleasant one!

[@bnsfgevoproductions]

@@P42_foamer P42s and F40s are my favs!

[@clippitms]

Surprising, a train video! As someone who likes trains and planes, I find this unique out of most of your videos. In a good way. Nice video.

[@idxluaviation]

No way Ice711 Amtrak video! I love amtrak trains and I didn't know you even posted this! Awesome video!

[@22NCRAILFAN23]

I already watched this channel and subscribe But this makes it better! I hope you can do Railfanning and plane spotting videos

[@Tepicneori]

finally! a train vieo! as a railfanner, i am very surprised this got uploaded in an aviation channel. anyways Volaris A321

[@CunardLine647]

As a railfanner I love this train you rode on last time I been here I saw a Union Pacific SD70ACE with a csx

Never thought I would see one of my favorite aviation KZbinr make a train video

[@ice711real]

[@mrwelshaviation_024]

I like to travel on a train you get too see lots of things on one ride so nice to see a train video on your channel

[@ice711real]

Very true, it’s almost like the world from a different perspective

[@StarboiSK]

Yes more Milwaukee content! Milwaukee is probably one of my favorite cities to fly into!

[@ice711real]

More will be coming soon!

[@DVDALT333]

I love that you are bringing some light to place's like Milwaukee, keep up the good work! 👍

Hope you fun in my home city. 😊

[@superflyer140]

Oooooo cool! You don’t have many train ride videos, still nice!! Btw I saw two 747s and an A380 today fly over our house 😮

[@Your_Local_Nerd]

i’m honestly sick of all these npcs saying “first” 🤓 all the time but great video, i remeber your last one and it was great but i haven’t finished this one yet

[@Ashe-v2e]

Gotta love amtrak

[@gamingwithlukeJToH]

I know those Venture cars are only about a year old, which is cool.

[@F40M07]

Those are brand new railcars dude!!

[@ice711real]

They sure seemed like it!

[@Concorde002]

This Milwaukee train station looks so cool, also what were you doing there?

[@captainminecraft631]

Sturevant may be a pain to board as seen by those people rushing to cross island, as trains may switch platforms without warning, but I would advise those boarding at that station, wait on the bridge over the tracks, not on the platform. It’s quicker, and you can see your train sooner. If you’re flying out of Chicago, or Milwaukee, or just visiting one of the cities, park your car there, $7 for 30 days. Can escape Chicago traffic, and is really cheap! Try it! If you take my advice, you won’t regret it!

[@atsf47legit]

This video is railfan approved. great video as always👍

[@SanBernadinoSub_Railfan]

I love your train videos! Maybe consider railfanning-it’s really popular and I would LOVE it if you did!

[@Random_Eebs]

Amtrak isn’t actually as bad as I expected damn

[@ice711real]

Yeah, these were new cars I think

[@Ashe-v2e]

Once, I went on amtrak from Seattle to Portland, Coach is pretty good. The view was amazing !

[@Rndmstff737]

I personally would recommend the train over united’s outrageous ORD-MKE service

[@F40M07]

Oh my god. Uploaded on my birthday, this legend takes Amtrak

[@bossfight6125]

WOW! He is now ICE711 (Intercity Express)

[@ice711real]

😂

[@ImAviatorGuy_1562]

Hey ICE711 i think you should start Railfaning and Planespotter both

[@xheralt]

When I make this trip, my usual next step is to pick up the Blue Line two blocks south of Union Station on Clinton (basically the back side of the station), transfer to a different L train downtown if needed, and then city bus if needed.

[@Manuel11137]

Yo Ice! You officially beat Isle of man AND Andorra in Population! Congrats on hitting 85K. I hope you make it to 90K or even 100K. At this rate, with all the people who support your AMAZING channel, you'll easily get to 100K. I love watching your videos they make me feel like a real avgeek watching your fabulous videos. I love the effort you put into this channel and deserve more than what you get. You have an amazingly organized discord server with nice staff. You can defy all those odds that are thrown against you. Well, anyways, have a good day/night Ice. I hope you reach 100k and get that nice silver play button soon.

[@GhostKnightofficial]

I was watching a diffrent ice711 vid when this posted

[@trinhha9844]

Cool video

[@foxaviationtime]

I was actually surprised of the similarity of Europe to us trains… recently I went with Eurostar and the cabins are nearly identical. (Also HELP ice has banished my KZbin feed to train content 😭)

[@ice711real]

Lol, no shame in having train content time to time. This did seem like a newer train, so Amtrak is certainly getting their standards up to the European level.

[@TheLordsOfTheDucks]

Belgian trains don't even have that many power outputs, some trains have 1/4 seats but in most carriages it's either 1 or 0 You should still check out European trains!

[@LarryThePumpkin2024]

Ice711, I found a plane at that runway where that scene was at the end of the previous google Earth Video, it looks like it has 6 engines and is a camoflauged plane, it's engines look a bit like missiles, it is big and is at the edge of the airport, where every driver passing by can see it!

[@SD40-2]

Starting to get into planes but also a full time railfan. I approve this video

[@ice711real]

Ty, I’m an avgeek who’s always found pleasure in trains, and I’m starting to get into the railfan community a bit myself ✌️

[@SD40-2]

Nice to know

[@Aviation715]

My childhood was trains especially Amtrack i thought that it Looked so cool but now im more of a plane person

[@chrisstromberg6527]

Absolutely worth it. I have to make that horrible drive to Chicago way too often, it is always better by rail!

[@ice711real]

Agreed

[@PrepareToTakeoff]

Hey, I am thinking of going to Oshkosh in 2024 and was wondering if it is worth it or not. I would appreciate your opinion, Ice.

[@ice711real]

Absolutely worth it, I’d recommend staying the whole week as many different aircraft come and go, and of course, the legendary airshow!

[@briansivley2001]

The Train Yard was for Metra Chicago's Commuter Rail Service. They operate from 4 Downtown Chicago Terminals. The Milwaukee District North Line which Amtrak Hiawatha and Empire Builder follows until Roundout when Milwaukee District North Line turns Northwest to go to Fox Lake. The Milwaukee District West Line also follows the same Amtrak Lines and Metra Lines along with The North Central Service which goes to Antioch and has a connection to O'Hare Airport at O'Hare Transfer goes to Elgin and Big Timber Road. But in the near future Metra is extending The Milwaukee District West Line all the way up to Rockford so once that happens it will be the longest Metra Line. The BNSF Line operates from Union Station to Aurora and it's Metra's busiest Line. It's also unique that The BNSF Railroad operates it while Metra supplies the equipment and fares. The Southwest Service goes from Union Station to Manhattan (not the NYC Borough). The last Line that goes into Union Station is The Heritage Corridor which goes to Joliet and follows the old Illinois and Michigan Canal and it's replacement The Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. It's Metra's least operated Line. The Heritage Corridor only operates one way in The Rush Hour so in the morning it only goes into Union Station and the afternoon out of Union Station. But coincidentally Metra has another Line that goes to Joliet but from a different Terminal. If you go to The LaSalle Street Station just off of The Loop L you can take The Rock Island District and it will take you to Joliet and it operates more often than The Heritage Corridor does. If you go to Millennium Station you can take Metra Electric which is one of two Lines that has Branches. The main Branch goes to University Park just outside of Governor's State University. The other branches goes to either East 93rd Street or Blue Island Vermont Street which you can transfer to The Rock Island District to continue to Joliet if you wanted to. Also at Millennium Station is The South Shore Line the world's last operating interurban railroad. It typically ends at Michigan City at Carroll Avenue but some trains go all the way to South Bend Regional Airport. It used to go into South Bend but it was moved to the airport for some reason I don't remember. There are some plans for The South Shore Line to return into South Bend but they're still planning it. Right now they're building The West Lake Branch which should be completed by sometime next year and they just finished a Double Track Project between Gary Indiana and Michigan City and they just recently finished The Track Separation Project in Michigan City. The South Shore Line operated in the middle of the street in Michigan City so they ended it and separated the tracks and Double Tracked it and made the 11th Street Station accessible to people with disabilities. It got mixed reactions because of how unique The South Shore Line is including myself. The last terminal that Metra uses is Ogilvie Transportation Center (locally known as The Northwestern Station). The Metra Union Pacific North Line which goes to Waukegan mostly but some trains go all the way into Wisconsin to Kenosha making it the only Metra Line that goes outside the state of Illinois. The Union Pacific West Line also goes from Ogilvie Transportation Center to Elburn a farming area out West. And the last Metra Line is also currently the longest Metra Line and the second busiest Line is The Union Pacific Northwest Line. It also has a Branch which similar to The Heritage Corridor only operates during The Rush Hour one way. It goes to McHenry. The main Branch goes to Harvard Illinois a community that isn't exactly a suburb but a community that benefits from having a connection to Downtown Chicago and the other suburbs in the northwest area.
