do you know how the flag stops work on metra? and what wagon do you get out of if the platforms are so short?
Haaa nice boxing glove P393 has 😂 @42:55
Yoooo you literally go past where I live Matteson il. We need to link up man.
Perhaps next time I'm up in the Windy City. Currently on the Lakeshore Limited back to NYC.
Good job man
You should rail fan on the bnsf line at Westmont at morning or afternoon rush
You should do an outbound Millennium-U. Park video sometime! Metra's outbound Ride-Along video has sh*tty Sun glare all throughout...
Is that a power plant on the left 53:05?
What’s Metra’s obsession with having the bells on all the time?
Red Bowling Gamer most Metra trackage is in quiet zones, where horn use is prohibited but they can still use their bells
ThunderCoasters Ah I see.

Was this originally the ICRR electric commuter line?
Yes it was,
42:54 never knew the chargers were now in servic
