Welcome to Chicago Train and Transit!
This channel is for videos I capture of trains in and around Chicago. Train lines featured may include: CTA L, Metra, BNSF, Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, as well as historical trains from Illinois Railway Museum (IRM) and The Fox River Trolley Museum. Please note that I am not a Chicago native, and am making this channel as I learn about the history and logistics of trains in and out of The Windy City. There's a lot to see, so hop aboard, and lets take a ride.

Clips from the Morning Rush at Tokyo Central Station
These clips were all filmed within about 20 minutes or so on a weekday morning just after 8 am. I wanted to go to the Shinkansen platforms, but couldn't find a way in without a ticket. I tried a few places to get the best shots I could. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I hope I can get to have more time for videos like this on future trips.

Clips from Fox River Trolley Museum's Rails to Victory 2024
มุมมอง 1245 หลายเดือนก่อน
Rails to Victory is an annual event hosted by the Fox River Trolley Museum in early June. The event features WW2 reenactments as viewed from a trolley ride. The trolley stops at multiple battle scenes, with soldiers dressed from many different countries such as USA, the UK, Germany, Poland, The Soviet Union, and Japan. These are some of the first shots that I have taken with a new camera, so ho...

Some Clips from the IRM 70th Anniversary Trolley Parade
มุมมอง 673ปีที่แล้ว
Last Weekend I had a wonderful time at the IRM 70th Anniversary event. The goal was to run 70of the electric cars that they could get out, a 70 for 70. A lot of cars that don't usually operate were present, including the "main event", where the Little Joe pulled the GG1 and Toaster. The two South Shore cars were the only ones that had a breakdown, which is why they were towed. It was a wonderfu...

Its clark/lake not clarke/lake
They can technically restore a gg1 but have tonuse modern parts. The transformers were found to be highly toxic and all were removed from every locomotive. But who is to say they couldn't use newer technology on them. Definitely possible just expensive
and finding one that has a better frame
Amtrak should restore the baggage car behind the locomotive, not only for the better service, but as a buffer between the sleeper and engine.
AEM 7 = Toaster 😂
Here I thought this must be on the southern end, but sure enough it's lechmere. Guess 15 years is too long for my memory,

This was a pretty cool event, although I actually went there in 2023. I also caught the museum’s three 1-50 series cars in action as well.

Perfect place to record trains passing your windows
And HPO too
Worked with these guys... Cleveland Ohio
My favorite line in the city. 😐😂
There’s two sets of houses in addition to the HEP power cables directly underneath the couplers - main reservoir and air brakes for the whole train. Those are automatic split couplers when the first half pulls out the lever where the mechanical person is will be yanked up, therefore releasing the coupler that holds the couplers in place the hoses will automatically disconnect with a sound like a gunshot boom
W gg1
Great moment at 23:46:Great moment...Purple line turning east, and eventually turning south, Brown going north, Pink going west...great stuff!!!
I’m from NYC and I LOVE the subways - I currently live in Florida and I miss the city trains. If I could get an apartment overlooking this exact spot - I would be the happiest person! 🚇
Trainstation 2 game. Waw ❤
The reason the GG1 and AEM-7 cannot run is because the overhead wires are the wrong current
The the gg1’s frames are OLD AS HECK
@@CoreytheATSFConnie GG1's issue is its transformers have been drained of the coolent which was CFC based.
Dump that horrible music.
You should get a life Ron.
@chicagotrainandtransit9301 LOL. Get a life.LOL. Why are you so sensitive? Cant take criticism? You should get a life and grow up .
The red cables looped into themselves is your 480v Head end power cables and your 2 air hoses are different sizes, the skinnier one is your main reservoir hoses that supply general air to the train and the thicker one is your brake pipe which is the air that controls the brakes on each car. The main reservoir charges your water raising unit that provides water pressure for each car. So once blue flag protection is active the electrician will pull 480v and comm and MU then drop his blue flag protection so they can make the cut. And the air hoses will break apart themselves
Hey What line is this?
💦 "promo sm"
Excellent🙌.
Stop with that corny music. Of course, they would rescue the dog!!
What line was this
The reason why the Metrolink cars came to Chicago is they were on their way to Milwaukee to get overhauled.
Q: What kind of music do you listen to? A:
Slap a tilt-shift effect on that bad boy and voila
Why are the trains moving so slow? Especially if they don’t turn
This junction is in watchdogs
I thought it was Cities Skylines at first
CTA is like heavy light rail
Blues Brothers!! Also the outdated Tunafish sammaches are to die for at the 7-11 there. Literally.
Je pourrai pas supporter le bruit constant d'un métro près de chez moi.
the noise pollution is absurd. Try living anywhere near this monstrosity.

This is an engineering masterpiece!
It looks highly inefficient in terms of capacity
Are these all residential buildings ?
No
It’s nice to see the little joe run again
I enjoyed this video, playing guessing games at which train is which, I never have been to [as my Great Grandfather put it] 'Chiago'.
Rode the Green Hornets and the Red Pullmans - big adventure for a little kid!

I wonder if the residents of these houses pay rent? To live with a such noise, the city authorities must pay compensation of several thousand dollars a month.
Ride montreals subway and weep
So primitive. But it works!
I wonder if a train ever ran a red signal at this junction and caused a train wreck?
Yea great video of the lake shore limited swap back and forth from 48 to 448 to Boston and 449 to 49 on its return to Chicago I see the regular 2 engines that brought 48 to this station still counted on with the same train as the front of the train turned to become 448 But then as the train came back as 449 they didn’t want the same 3 engines to connect the train to make the long train as 49 to continue on to Chicago because they were late and needed an engine inspection and a repair from what happened to the scent 2 engines in 88 consist. 106 duse look the wariest to be part of the late problem because it looks the dirtiest
