I always wanted to do this line many years ago. Just never had the time plus since this only runs on weekdays, I would have to pay a bunch of one way fares.
This is one of the most underused metra lines due to how little it gets and it only runs on weekdays so therefore it gets less ridership than other metra lines and also because it has a short schedule each day so you barely get any trains on this line
Great video. Very informative. Interesting to see the new Amtrak cars. What is the "clang-clang' noise that starts up at low speed??? Is it the brake pipe re-charging or something else??
it sounds like when the engineer goes full blast with the horn, the pneumatic bell either slows down or stops until he lets up on the horn. maybe taking too much air from the bell system for the horn? weird
STATIONS STOPS IN ORDER
