METRA BNSF Aurora Line Inbound Naperville EXPRESS

- Front railfan window view from an early morning inbound METRA Naperville Express train on the Aurora Line (aka BNSF Line aka Chicago Sub).
This train is part of the zoned service on the Aurora Line with trains making stops between Aurora and Naperville before running express to Union Station. Following behind are trains that start at Lisle and continue to Downers Grove before going express. The other two zones are Hinsdale to Congress Park and Brookfield locals.
Because this was the last express run of the morning with an all stops local following, are train was sent straight down track 3 instead of being switched to Track 2.
There was a bit of a hiccup leaving Naperville when the cab control car lost sync with the locomotive on the rear. After a reboot the train continued, but it resulted in a jump on the tape.
Sorry about the color. Increased back lighting made my earlier color balance settings fail to deal with the light green tint on the front window.
Cool the way the regulars are all clustered around the soon-to-be door positions at the first stop. Creatures of habit. A testimony to the reliability of service.
one thing I like about train videos are the random conversations in the back ground that you can't really understand except for the occasional word.
I've been on this express run... pure heaven skipping past all those stations at 70mph. No better feeling.
Playing this video exactly the same time as my current metra bnsf line schedule. It’s like I’m watching a live cam of #1230 this morning 😀
One of the best Metra coverage out there. I wish I could see more...
I'll see what I can do, but I live on the east coast.
Awesome! My dad ran these trains for many years - but worked more in the Cicero yards. He loved it, but hated the railroad.
Take this Express train every morning - Rt. 59 Naperville to Union Station - 40 minutes. It,s fabulous, Those from Chicago know that if you tried to drive downtown from Naperville on a weekday morning it would take 3 hours because of traffic.
+Commercial Realtor I'm Western European, we have one of the best regional rail networks in the entire world, but some people still prefer to commute by car and then get pissed because they waste 4h each day standing in congestion. I really don't get it, but hey, at least the trains aren't even more crowded than they already are.
Commercial Realtor i take the same train once a month, refreshing from driving every once in awhile
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing!

I think you have your Caps Lock on.
I had to mute the sound or I’d never make it
There are many travelers who use your train. My congratulations !!! It's better than traveling in their car.
Awesome video I love the former CBQ racetrack. It is a very fun and beautiful piece of railroad to watch.
I took this train for 33 years!
Always happy to travel with you.
Nice trip!
Thank God I am not married to the woman talking in the background..She never shuts up.
MrJerbrad I hear you
Who?
MrJerbrad who?
MrJerbrad I feel U dawg!!!
I like when she speaks. You don't know what is loneliness, don't you???
I tried not to listen to the conversations that were going on. As a train lover, I thought this video was right on track!
Good one 😂
I remember hearing steam freight trains on this line during the night while hospitalized at St. Anthony's Hospital in early 1957 seen on left 36:20. The children's ward faced the tracks and I think it was on the 3rd or 4th floor.
What a Beautiful city!
Looks like the railroad equivalent of a turnpike
IMO...the best line in the Metra system..
I've rode quit a few of these up front, just like a cab ride!
i noticed a WB Amtrak at 6:55....by any chance do you know which Amtrak train that was
Train 381

Sandburg
Fun stuff!!👍😎
more platforms?
Riding the racetrack :)
Wish they had sent us down track 2.
Great ride! My son and I are looking for Metra fans and subscribers! Peace and Happy Metra!!!
I am going to start making videos of metra rides in the spring & summer. I'm going to record full rides to & from Chicago on every metra line! Stay tuned for this spring & summer!
LOVE IT
Nice video I subscribed
Poor sounding bell....clunk clunk clunk clunk clunk
43:20 I SAW METRA 210 SEE IT?
Yeah what about it
No horn?
Two long ahead of the grade crossing. One short at the grade crossing and one long through the crossings.
Does this train have an exemption?
Whole line is pretty much one giant grade crossing quiet zone.
Do it again !
Playing this video in 2X speed and dreaming about HSR in America....
A close kin of Prof. B. J. Gumby can be heard amongst the passengers.
Listen to the flat wheel. Needs a wheel turn.
+Egil Hop -Flat spot.
+BILL COOLEY Oh yes, "flat spot" is the correct term. Thank you.
34:21, Abandoned MJ Railway roundhouse, to the very far left.
seems bigger than Penn Station. what do you think?
+Igor Furlender In what way? Penn Station is a station, not a terminal and has higher capacity.
Middle Class neighborhoods Metra did not use train horns, get by Austin Blvd they use them 🤔 foh
Alot of the suburbs that this train goes through do not allow train horns.
I wonder why there's such a huge express run.
Railfan64 Look at the schedule. METRA uses zoned service.
How much the money a ticket?
+Raymark Statam I'm sure I could look it up, but it was something like $5-$7. Super cheap.
okay
I know it;s $7 to ride all weekend. On the weekdays fares may be different.
dvferyance 10 dollars now they ass taxing
Why doesn't the train stop at each station?
+philis05 Um...it's an express train.
What is the noise at the beginning of the video?
Cab car bell
Yes I asked my sister and that's what she said
Wow, such a crappy rail condition, seems like US stuck with railroad of 60's
Ironic that metra literlly rebuilt their old emd locomotive that aging and order the new alston cars
Wish they showed station names!
This isn't a Pantex DVD!
35:50, the Gallagher house is on your left.
This train halls ass, beats driving!
At 34:25 the building burned down in 2016
Edit: in the background
6:40 - EJ&E?
I think so...
Enough with the cackling hens already. Some women just never shut up. Off in less than 2 minutes.
Plug up headphones and blast the music very loud
Me too
these karens who complaining about train horn really dont know that they can cover their ears
Notice Amtrak f40 40:45
Cabbage car I believe.
no horn at grade crossings
+Mark-Andre Bailey FRA quiet zone.
+Mark-Andre Bailey That's where the mechanical bells take the place of horns.
Now it's a voice that tells you when the train coming don't need the horn no more..
Umm... I honestly don't know a lot about Trains, But I was under the impression that as an Engineer on any Train Engine You're supposed to blow the Horn @ every Crossing. This is a Great Video don't get me wrong, but I noticed the the Engineer on this express train failed to Blow the Horn @ every crossing. I honestly don't think that the bell system on these Modern Train Engines is Loud enough for people in Vehicles to hear while waiting @ a Crossing. Plus you might get some Idiot that doesn't pay attention to the crossing signal & ends up causing the Train to Wreck the Vehicle. If you can please enlighten me as to the horn laws thanks.
This specific line is a under a federal no horn "quiet zone". This relives the engineer of the universal requirement to blow the horn all the time. He or she can still sound the horn if specific conditions warrant it. You are indeed correct that outside a "quiet zone" engineers are required to sound the horn at all grade crossings. My understanding is that all sidewalks have pedestrian gates on this line.
its a quiet zone. Basically the towns told the trains not too.
It is a quiet zone to appease to all the Karens in the suburbs who complain about everything even though the railroad was there before their cute little house was.
워터파크 역
Too much chatter.
It's a regularly scheduled peak period train xD
During peak commuting hours, Metra designates the second car from each end as a quiet car.
