Evening Rushhour Railfanning Downtown Chicago | Clybourn & Canal St X-ing + Horn Echoes | HD
Hey guys, it’s been a while but here’s a compilation that I put together combining my catches from two different locations during the evening rush!
1. Clybourn - It’s a station that holds both the Union Pacific North (Kenosha Sub) and the Northwest Line (Harvard Sub). Both lines were formerly owned by the CNW before the merger with the Union Pacific Railroad. This spot is relatively popular to those who enjoy rush hour express trains on both lines as they split from each other.
2. Canal St - It’s a super busy crossing because of the variety of trains coming in & out of the north side of Union Station. The tracks hosts Metra’s Milwaukee District North, West, and the North Central Service. In addition, Amtrak Hiawatha, Borealis, and the Empire Builder. This is a pretty popular spot in downtown among railfans & enthusiasts!
Thanks for watching & enjoy!!!

UP SD70M #5200 leads MOW train north on the UP/N | Winnetka, IL
มุมมอง 116หลายเดือนก่อน
Although UP mainline engines aren’t frequent on the Kenosha Sub south of Lake Bluff, this is the occasional one you’ll see dropping up new rails to pick up old ones in favor of improving Metra travel in & out of the city. Of course, seeing this passing by my hometown right before work is a big plus! Recorded 7/20/24

As seen, METX F59PHI #80 & F59PH #98 powering the Inspection Train south to Ogilvie Transportation Center through Hubbard Woods Station on the UP/N! I believe this is the first time that a train powered by two F59s would run across Union Pacific North Line! Definitely the first for the ex Go Transit F59PH #98. Although it would’ve been nice to see it lead the northbound run! 7/18/24

Some of the unidentified rails in the Gary area could be old EJ&E lines that serviced US Steel Gary Works.
Alaska is not bad
Reminds me of the old Ozark Airlines service in the ‘60s & ‘70 with the ubiquitous Fairchild turboprops.
Is it only if you have a bike
this wig wag is look old before now is look so good
this wig wag is make me sad
I want to go !!!
im an expert at this flight living in Seattle and went to College at MSU lol
Is glencoe an HZ?
Ex amtrak #456
I got air sick watching you film the bathroom. LoL.
This SD50 evaded the cutting torch and is living the good life
This broken the f59phi iconic air horn
Those seats look horribly tight and uncomfortable compared to the old trains. So close together, so thin, and with no leg room.
My wife loves this station since she grew up there. We would drive up here from the Indiana Dunes to take some photos of the Metra trains since she's a huge train fan.
The new station for portage/ogden dunes is a lot better, but right now Southshore has been having _many many_ delays, it kinda soured my brother on being on the train. Even when we were doing the 6am train pickup it didnt arrive until 7:30, 'was idled in michigan city for no reason. It didnt really sour any future train rides though, theyve just been renovating a lot. Heck im curious if theyll really add South Bend to the southshore line once they renovate old union station south bend?
Those seats are pretty uncomfortable on the 318.
This video helped me decide never to take Amtrak down to St. Louis. I'll fly instead.
i seen that engineer when i was out there
Nice and loud

For the price point, I find Alaska’s first/ business class a good deal. Especially when lounge access is included. Yes, I’m sure other carriers offer a superior product but you’ll pay for it.
man your so lucky
That's just a SD70M, it's just a phase two version...A SD70M-2 is more of like an ACe, UP doesn't have any SD70M-2s, CN and NS does....
Didn’t see the typo. Thanks for pointing that out!
@@willstrainsplanes Your welcome bro :)
This line is now abandoned if I remember right
My favorite train station in Winnetka as well.
Nice
please do more vids at this crossing!
Oh I didn’t even realize 151 had a mixed cast
I think they recently equipped it with this horn!
@@willstrainsplanes157 has one too
Great Metra action, my wife loves the UP-N line from her hometown of Winnetka. She loves trains as well.

I’m no sport person either, but you’re right. Ted Lasso is epic.
Hey there. Nice report. Regarding the pictures and video, as a Portuguese person, I do know people don't appreciate being on camera without a previous request and an explanation of what the footage is for. In this case, you mentioned "personal use", but this content has been posted on social media, which means, has you know, it can be seen worldwide. I put myself in that airline stewardess place and, to be honest, I'm not sure I would like to be confronted with a random passenger filming myself at work. I work in broadcast and I can tell you it can easily be frown upon. Same thing happens with bus drivers, inside trains, even shopping centers. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing, but it's just how the country works. I was once called out by a TAP steward because I was filming the take off focusing on the window and the head of service politely came and showed me this IATA manual that clearly state that airlines should prevent passengers from using cameras during either the entire flight or take off and landing for "security reasons". I believe that is no longer the case, but I could be wrong. Anyway, I believe this is a matter of cultural differences.
Are you gay?
Nice lash up!
TAP 4, companhia mais segura do mundo!
if they run 2816 in the lead again, maybe they can do a crossing sequence split between both whistles. 2 "long" on 1 whistle and "1 short, 1 long" on the other. and then if the horn on the F-unit (or whatever accompanying unit(s)) are usable, maybe they can each do (or split ) the crossing sequence too.
It’s leading now. Guess they couldn’t risk anything with Mexico again
Do most of the TAP air jets have power plugs or USB with power delivery in economy class? Due to take a flight on TAP later this year and will be flying Economy and would be great to charge my phone and tablet while in flight (it's a long flight).
Where was this recorded?
Rail therapy. Catharsis af!!!!! 🌅 🌄 🌅
Most beautiful sound in the world
Awesome! I was there too! It’s beautiful in person.
421s horn sounds like 401, it sounds like a low pitch Raised Letter K5LA due to very cold wind chill, anyways nice video!
Cool Executive MAC
Mate, last time I was on that train(back to Michigan City when working out of Kalamazoo) was 2006 and it looks like that train hasn’t been maintained or cleaned since then. I’ve heard the US financial situation is bad but couldn’t a little bit of work to keep this running stock in decent condition be done????? Good luck with your projects. Grüße aus Australien. Tschüss.
Great hornshow and catch! Well done!
