Hello Thomas, an interesting video from the track area of Chicago station. We don't have anything like that where a train has to stop because an employee switches the switch by hand. Something like that would be impossible in Germany at such large stations. Here it's done electronically. Thanks for showing and have a good week. Best wishes, Wolfgang
Most switches in the US are switched by a dispatcher that can be many miles away. I don't know why the Chicago yard is still requiring manual switching. Thanks for watching and commenting, Wolfgang!
Awesome view. Very nice.
Thanks, Dom!
Nice place 🎉
We had fun there
Even well past Chicago Union Station's "golden years," the south end puts on a nice show.
Yes it does!
Awesome catches!
Glad you enjoyed it
I was actually in Durango Yesterday on the Train!
That's exciting!

Great video! What are your thoughts on Amtrak’s Phase VII scheme? (The scheme that P42DC no. 75 currently wears)
I really like the Phase VII scheme. I always disliked the Phase V livery.
