Great videos! Thanks for coming to see the train. The train was a special charter with Metra as the host railroad. The train was run in conjunction with the 44th annual AAPRCO convention. In the tradition of the convention, the train it was named. This year's train was called the Chicagoland Special.
Thank you for following this special Metra train around the Metra system, Andrew. That was an interesting assortment of passenger cars. I was surprised that there were not more private passenger cars on the train.
@@railsofchicagoandbeyond8832 Well that yellow stain would look bad on me. However they still had a RR to run I wonder if they just used what was available at that time 🤔?
I never thought I'd see a passenger rail company do a special excursion aside from their North Pole events, this looks like one helluva catch!

Thanks for watching!
I love excursions! If they don’t have observation cars in random spots of course
That's epic! Wow, congratulations and well done!
Thank you!
Thank you for a great video. The private cars were truly splendid, and METRA #90 looks superb in C&NW colours too. Well done !
Thank you very much!
I'm glad you got this.
Saw a few of those coaches getting prepped during my AM commutes last few weeks south of Union Station.
Great to see the F59 in Chicago and North Western livery ! Also some superb locations !
Thank you!
Wow
Awesome video, man!
Thank you!
Great video! Sorry I missed this event.
Thanks for watching!
I Caught this too
When will it be in Elgin Illinois
It won’t go back there
I have never seen metra 90
Go to UP lines
Cool train for sure but such a bad duo of locomotives. They don’t match at all.
None of the coaches match either. So Why is that important? Yes it is very cool Train👍
@@gailyncookMilwRR Because it’s an ugly duo. The coaches also aren’t bright colors for the most part, so they match in that sense.
@@gailyncookMilwRR Think about it this way, would you want a yellow stain on a white shirt?
