4:33 you are a true friend sir!

I went for a ride and drifted off for the whole trip!~

this is stupid 1 track for trains should be 2 tracks this is the 2000s not 1800s makes no sense usa i only travel sleeper on amtrak

16:20 where the tracks seperate to go over the flyover.

BETTER THAN WATCHING “FORREST 🏓 GUMP!” thank you 🧑‍🎤 🏁 👩‍💼👩‍🎓👩‍⚖️

How big exactly is this train? Would be quite a sight to see a double decker heading down main street

долбанутый машинист и видит на переезде нет ни людей и машин и постоянно гадко сигналит.

5:56 CSX Q217

My son is special needs and he loves trains 🚆🛤🚊🚂🚃🚄🚅🚇🚋🚞🚝🚉🚈 they're one of his favorite things in the whole world 🌎! He finds those Metra bi level electric cars and the South Shore Line's single level electric cars very interesting and highly underrated rail transportation vehicles. He also thinks that the part of the Virginian Railroad that use to be electrified should be "reelectrified" and the part of the Milwaukee Road Pacific Extension that was electrified as well and the departments of transportation should run these on them.

Darn Americans and their incessant need to ring a continuous bell even in rail yards. Meanwhile in the rest of the world everyone is intelligent enough to know to avoid rail tracks.

That’s the most boring view of Kansas City ever.

I can scarcely believe what I see here: in residential Michigan City a ONE-TRACK line runs down the MIDDLE of the STREETS! I can only guess at the annoyance of the neighborhoods about the noise-pollution factor...JAT

taking the train to the birthplace of the jacksons

At 22:20 is the old access road and parking lot for Tremont, replaced by Dune Park one mile west. It was a ground level flag stop. Told the conductor you wanted to get off at Tremont and he'd tell the motorman to stop. To be picked up you waved your arms. I lived 100 yards past this stop in 1971-1974.

Much changed from when I last rode the South Shore some 60 years ago. All the stations are vastly improved, however I did recognize various landmarks around Kensington, good to know aome rhings don't change.

metra electric race clip awsome

Now the street running doesn’t even exist. Sad that America gets rid of things that made this country so great 😢

dude i literally riding this traint from gary to chicago tomorrow the south shore line train

I’m not going anywhere for IL

I’m not going anywhere for

Oh hi there is your birthday card for me today too so close by your house

Oh wow that’s good news

Oh wow that’s good news

16:26 Immediately east of the tracks was the site of Illinois Central (the railroad) Hospital, where I was born. The site is now occupied by a U. of Chicago pre-school. Thanks for the unexpected memory!

Just stumbled upon this video-nice coverage for a Topeka native and frequent visitor to the West Bottoms

7:53 While it's not obvious, lineside signals and equipment between here and Everett have been relocated far from the tracks so very wide Boeing containers could be transported to its Everett plant (note pier here where the offloading was moved). These extra wide container trains ran only at night with no trains allowed on the other track. The track (8:14) from here up Japanese Gulch to the Boeing plant is the steepest RR grade in the country--over 5 percent--as locos push loads up the hill rather than tow them.

We are from Affton Missouri a suburb of St Louis and one time we took a trip to the Wisconsin Dells I remember sitting in that parking lot and watching a train go across that bridge right in downtown area that was a interesting trip

3:31 looks like it was electrified at one point

where did the Southwest Chief end up?

I enjoyed my ride on the Southwest Chief. I have never ridden on a train looking backwards, very interesting.

I don’t see any recent cab rides on these double decker cars.

Fantastic job on this video

Thanks Erin I live in St Louis I've rode the train to Chicago many times in the 90s they had a deal round trip $50 Chicago and back

One thing I would like to say to you I'm sure you don't realize how your wonderful video help me to see country that I'm not familiar with you give entertainment to people snapshot of America thank you

Wonderful video excellent

You make a great video

You make a great video sir

This is great. I always wondered how the South Shore runs through Miller, IN at 6:07. It takes the old Lake Shore and Michigan Southern right of way. Thanks for this video. Better than maps!

Note that in Chicago, they use high platforms, but in the other stations people board from ground level

It was important if you were riding all the way to South Bend that you be in the first car. I experienced a panicky couple who realized the first car was split off from the rest of the train at the Michigan City yard and they had to run down the tracks to catch it.

I've maid a video about the car that you road check it out.

Dune Park is the name of the station. Not the town. The town is Chesterton, IN

I watched a video once

Any photos. Of south shore going down the center of Chicago Ave. In east chicago

Have you ever which trian go ing backward

Is there a South Shore Line video Michigan City to South Bend, either present day or back in the Orange Cars days? Thanks

Keep the fucking camera still you fucking asshole!!

Strange how overhead wires don't have zig-zag design in order to prevent slider from wear.

I think I caught pneumonia watching this.
