    I wish I saw these trains in the 90's!

    Hi Dan, that was brilliant, especially the South Shore action. I have a couple of Athearn B/Box GP38-2s decorated in CSS yellow, that I picked-up off eBay UK, so it was great to see some real ones at work.

    My grandmother's house is barely visible in that shot at 17:27 (the house at the corner of Chicago Avenue and County Line). All through the 90s as a lad I'd just stroll up to Highlands and watch trains for hours.

    12:47 - 12:50 Wow, Phase II (hastily applied over the Amtrak chevron logos XD) in 1992.

    6:59 Interesting consist - Ex-Metroliner cab car, followed by an Amfleet 1 coach, then followed by 2 ex-Metroliner cabs paired together... not usual, I imagine, to see ex-metroliner cab cars put together as if they were married pairs, like when the Metroliners were originally delivered to the Penn Central.

    • @amtrak706

      The two paired together are actually “Michigan Coaches” which were Metroliners that had their cabs removed to turn them into regular trailer coaches. You didn’t often see them paired together like that though.

    Some really awesome footage there! I had an aunt the lived in Beverly Shores through the 1990s and a lot of familiar places there. We always went there for Thanksgiving so there was not a lot of freight rail traffic, when we were there. Michigan City was an interesting place to day the least!

    • @dlcluley
      @dlcluley  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's one of my favorite places. Was very glad to see them restore the depot in the late '90s.

    • @bobozo389

      Yes sir, that is a sharp little Depot! Have not been down there for at least 5 years, as my aunt moved to Hawaii. To correct my previous comment- to say the least, not day the least, LOL!

    In the first part of his video, what street is that train going down? I from the South Side and I don't remembers this street at all or is this South Bend? Where I grew up the South Shore ran along Lake Shore Drive. The worst accident they had was right off 31st by Michael Reese Hospital. I grew up on 33rd street a block from the Illinois Central tracks which was used by the South Shore train.

      The street running is in Michigan City Indiana. I put more details about all the locations in the video description. I've seen pictures of that south side wreck in the '70s.

      The wonderful sight of a smooth camshaft and valvetrain.

    Must have been kind of weird pulling up to a stoplight next to a you know...train! Do they still do this street running?

    • @dlcluley
      @dlcluley  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Weird & Cool. Yes, they still have the street trackage in Michigan City. The South Shore runs about 25 passenger trains on weekdays, and 15-20 on the weekends, plus a handful of freight movements.

      Dan Cluley are you from Michigan City? you brought back memories in the Amtrak video went right past my house. I'm surprised I wasn't back the tracks waving at you guys. good stuff keep it up. hope you have some current stuff soon.

    • @dlcluley
      @dlcluley  7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Was the part were you were seeing the commuter trains was on the South Shore line correct?

    • @dlcluley
      @dlcluley  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, the beginning & end parts were on the South Shore. The Metra trains in the middle were on the BN

    • @AmericanRailfan-gb8oq
      @AmericanRailfan-gb8oq 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Dan Cluley Thanks, does the south shore railway still exist.

    • @dlcluley
      @dlcluley  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes it does. Most of the commuters look the same, but they have added some double deck cars as well.
      The freight engines are now orange.

      Around the same time all this was going on, Grand Trunk use to run steel coil trains through Lansing with Grand Trunk and Chessie yellow or orange South Shore GP 38-2s.

      LOL! 😂 They're actually called 'b' units, and they're meant to serve as extra power.

    Ok why the hell do you need 5 locomotives on one train.
