Love the video! The footage at the Franklin Park station brought back memories. The last time I rode Metra from Union Station, I was looking for a train for Elmwood Park, but I ended up boarding a train for Franklin Park. Elmwood was en route to Franklin, but the train wasn't scheduled to stop there. I talked to the conductor, and he radioed the engineer while we were stopped at Western Avenue. And so, in the middle of the evening rush hour, the train made an unscheduled stop at Elmwood Park so a railfan who misread the schedule board could get to his hotel.
I just happened to be in Franklin Park (at the NCS station and at Mannheim station on the MD-W line) and just saw this video in my recommended now. Mannheim is a very bleak station but with amazing views of a whole lot of freight traffic.

Unfortunately, a lot of Metra's stations within the city see pretty poor service, particularly at peak times with there being so many express trains.
Need to re edit the description. Metra no longer has MP36PH-3S anymore. They've been converted into-3C's
I live in IL-Wheeling always Good to see the good ol F40’s still hanging around
