- METRA North Central Train #106 running express between O'Hare Transfer and Western Ave winds up in a race with Milwaukee West Train #2216 as we round the curve at Tower B-12. Despite the station stop at River Grove, we catch up to #2216 and arrive neck and neck at Western Ave, where both trains are stopped due to crossing traffic on the UP West Line.
For the conclusion of this thrilling race check out the second part of the video at:

Please do the video with less camera movement.
Camera doesn't have a mount.
My childhood route to City, from River Grove anyway. Great to view and remember who did what, when, where and how!
19:10 metra old coaches
Neat little race there, lol.
Thanks Jersey Mike! Seeing a nice Metra ride video works like a time machine to take me back to Chicago. If you commute on a regular basis you make new friends taking the train to work as well as your work colleagues, a train ride can be a great time to socialize. I have missed the train in other cities I have worked in that don't have a good commuter train system, and although Metra trains seem may old they keep them running through some of the really awful Chicago winter weather you can get that can make you regret trying to take a car to work.
These locos must go through a lot of sand with that kind of acceleration! Great Video Jersey Mike's Rail
Chill out on the camera zoom and hold it more steady.
Gotta get those signals! 🤷♂️
@@PositionLight yup
It’s like your having a seizure the camera is all over
very cool. awesome video.
The Railman says Smooth Railing!!!
Dang! 414 looks great!
Is there something special about 414?
414 was wrecked in a crash in early 2016, and everyone thought it was scrapped. But, a few months ago, Metra completely rebuilt it. It is now an MP36PH-3C, one of six in service as of January 2017. It has fresh paint, so it looks spotless. 414 is also one of Nick (Metra MP36 407)'s favorite locomotives.
Thanks for the info!
No problem.
Metra MP36 407 414 is so clean
Never mind. That's a CN line. Using CROR operating rules. That's an advance clear to medium. Then a clear to medium and finally a medium to clear.
You got it.
Thet was cool that they were belling it out at the end.
That station stop at 8:00 seems dangerous. Express train flying through, while people are boarding the train in the middle of the street?
Maybe Chicago commuters can exercise an ounce of common sense?
3:19 what signal rules are these? I've never seen a flashing yellow over green.
Advance Approach Diverging. Special CP rules for the ex-WC territory.
This was the Soo Line's route to Wisconsin, and only got commuter service in 1996. When the Soo absorbed the Milwaukee, they started using their route.
Too much camera movement, too much squeaking and too much talking in the background.
too much complaining.
I agree.
I agree. The squeaking is in the railroad equipment and cannot be helped. But there is WAY too much camera movement, and the talking in the background is way too much also.
Definitely too much complaining
Good video, despite the sound situation 👍
youtube has recently added a mute button so that you could stop whining.
It must be painful watching a train with a Diesel engine move so slowly.
Why are some metra trains having 2 locomotives
Have you noticed that 414's K5LA has one of the bells reversed?
Does anyone know what the audible ding is at 3:04? I've heard that randomly in other Metra cars but don't know what it corresponds to.
Sounds like part of an automated announcement system.
I've never seen 2 Metra engines with only four rail cars. what's going on?? It's at 4:29 too
Probably just an engine move.
Those F40c's though! =o)
Yeaaahhh!
I miss those too.
I would put up with almost anything just to see those two locomotives.
What does it mean you have a Red light on top of a green light, or vice versa? Which one do you follow?
Both, different combinations of lights mean different things. R/G is Diverging Clear.
Matt Hobbie approach limited red on bottom. Green over red- high ball, clear track ahead
Still don't quite understand. But thank you guys. 😄
From what I understand about signals, if the top head is a solid green the train can go no faster than the speed limit. If the middle head is a solid green the train can go no faster than 30mph and if the bottom head is a solid green the speed limit is 15mph.
If a signal is not all red, it is not red at all.
Basically meaning, you only stop if everything is solid red. That's all most people will ever need to know
ORD needs an integrated station in its soon-to-open consolidated rental car facility (or one next to terminals) and then use the ex-Wisconsin Central and Altenheim Subdivision along the Eisenhower Expressway for the fastest route to downtown. The WC and MDW congest too much of the ex-Milwaukee West line and from Tower A-5 in Amtrak and the MDN also add to the congestion. And let's not forget the mess that is at Tower A-2.
The signal at junction 17 threw me off a bit (flashing yellow over green). First thing came to mind was an advanced approach medium (just made it up). Could that be a possibility?
Advance Approach Diverging
Do u have a fascination with signals?
That's my specialty. Check out my blog.
position-light.blogspot.com/.
Do you not?
No horn at the street crossing?
Also why are the other trains moving faster? Pardon my ignorance.
FRA quiet zones.
We were making a diverging movement then a station stop.
Thanks so much!
414 looks great
What's that noise at 17:22?
Rough track I think.
Zoom zoom zoom zoom. Very distracting. WHY?
Showing the signals and other points of interest.
Great video. But from a commuter's point of view this seems an awfully slow run considering the excellent track condition.
19:57 F59PH!
Yup!
And these r american railways..not even electrified. Still they r running on diesel trains in this electrified world.
Because our railroads aren't a jobs programme.
@@PositionLight whhhaa...aaaaa
9:57 why hello here allertor
Hmmm?
Jersey Mike's Rail Videos ACA Allertor siren on the left you see a pole and there’s a siren right there called an Allertor
