I've noticed just about every other Metra line has official "Ride Along" both ways but not UP. It's kind of disappointing since I'm trying to replicate this line in Trainz.
that's why sitting in places like Westmont for hours is such fun. I have family that lived near there for a long time I don't drive so i depended on Metra to get to where they live. I have lived in Michigan for a majority of my life, also having lived in S. Korea, France, England, Rwanda, and numerous states. I would get on Metra at Westmont in the morning. I would ride with m family there and the person I visited would head on the first train he could. Since there were buses back to where I live all afternoon i'd sit at the station till the lunch. and then head downtown. you can see dozens of trains, including freights. That's a different line than this one, with even more traffic i bellieve
Hey. Do you have a second channel or did your video get copied by @Fitz5549? TH-cam lists yours as uploaded first on the same day and theirs looks slightly cropped/distorted. th-cam.com/video/HRykw77KzSA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=h1fkR1Eq7EzKnDHF
1:12:33 pulling into the terminal station
Now we need a reverse cab ride showing outbound! (I did not see one)
Outbounds are always locomotive first. The only line that you can see views from this perspective both ways is Metra Electric.

@@92xsaabaru-UP probably won’t do it. UP can be annoying about stuff like that.

They keep putting 211 out of service and 210 out!!!!
Seems like there’s a train every 5 minutes outbound lol
Rush Hour is pretty cool!

Heh. Funny thing is, we were both up there recording. We're friends and both wanted cab car videos. But thank you for the concern!
@oct197. Glad to hear! Do y'all just suction cup GoPros to the window? I remember standing up there as a kid.
@92xsaabaru69 No, we just held our phones up there the entire time. Every few minutes, I switch hands holding lol.
