Good video. I take the mainline from time to time.

Loved the video. Thanks. How do the engineers stand the nearly constant warning bells??

[@erie910]

The engineer can turn off the bell after stopping and after leaving each station. The bell is to be rung when approaching or leaving stations and when crossing a roadway.

The view leaving Chicago is dreary and dismal and depressing. You see empty right of way where tracks and maybe lay-up used to be. I believe this is the old IC Electric Line. It's just a sad sight.

Did you not have to transfer to a different train for the Blue Line branch? When I went as a teen way back in the 80s you had to transfer at some point to a different train that then went on the Blue Island branch. Maybe they dont do that anymore

[@oct197.]

nope you don't have to do that anymore

[@brandoncole5533]

Nah most trains to blue island start at millennium station and go all the way down to blue island
You just have to get on the right train that goes to blue island
Although I've seen like 1 or 2 trains to blue island start on 115th
