HPS 4000 movie intro
I remember seeing this intro at the Tivoli Theater in Downers Grove, IL before every movie. Never saw it anywhere else. Early 90s perhaps?

Canal street grade crossing fail
มุมมอง 2.4K8 ปีที่แล้ว
The Canal Street grade crossing in downtown Chicago is very busy for both Amtrak and Metra commuter trains. During the evening rush hour, it is not uncommon to see one train about every 2 or 3 minutes. Here, a woman waits for an inbound Metra train to clear the crossing, she disobeys the warning devices, then nearly walks into the path of an outbound Metra that she did not realize was approachi...

Wrigley Field rain delay 7-31-2013
มุมมอง 2.5K11 ปีที่แล้ว
The Wrigley Field grounds crew pulls the tarp across the field in the 5th inning of a game between the Chicago Cubs and the Milwaukee Brewers. The rain delay would last 1 hour and 6 minutes before play would resume, and the Cubs would win the game by a final score of 6-1. I'm always amazed at how fast these guys have that tarp on the field. It must take lots of practice!

Not that long ago Downers Grove was know for it's impressive lineup of vehicles heading up the parade - it was not unusual to see at least 30 pieces of equipment heading up the parade from communities far and near.

      In 1977 a drunk man was electrocuted to death walking into a grade crossing and touching the third rail. His family sued the CTA, who was found to be 50% at fault. In the lawsuit, the automatic gates were highlighted as a safety feature that some crossings lacked. I suppose the CTA decided these gates are too expensive to maintain

    That's a cool locomotive, I always thought the front of these EMDs made them look like a happy locomotive for some reason. I imagine that the 411, and even some of these very cars ran through Antigo Wi. on occasion back in the day when the CNW still went through here. Sadly though, I never did get to see any trains running through here, as by the time we moved here from Cape Cod in '87, they had already abandoned the line and pulled up the tracks a few years before hand. Little else remains of that line, but the CNW Antigo depot still stands today and is owned by the Antigo Housing Authority and much of the old right of way within the city limits now has a few houses, some apartments including next to the depot, the city hall/fire department and a couple other buildings on it.
