I use to go to 12th Street, Roosevelt bridge with my baby kid, and watched the trains go back and forth to Union Station, especially seeing the heavily use Amtrak EMD SW1500 switcher, but I found the Amtrak passenger yard quite more interesting south on the same bridge, when I am hungry by either going to White Place Grill or Domino Pizza at the strip mall. Mostly, I go to18th Street and watch the train activity at the Amtrak yard, often time I see other long dead passenger cars being toll by Amtrak to Norfolk Southern, or sometime some freight traffic coming from Union Pacific Intermodal yard near Chinatown. Otherwise, when I get hungry, I take my kid to Lawerence Fishery, my kid favorite place over White place Castle Grill. Now, I am disabled, no longer go railroad watching, but did take a few photos as memory. Someday, my kid will be interest in train watching on the 18th Street bridge. Suprising, Amtrak repainted their F40PH and F40PHM-2 to the new color, like MP36PH-3S. Otherwise, I believed Chicago is the only place that one can still see and feel a F40PH (when Amtrak long phase them out) going by, before Metra replace them with MP36PH-3S. And, it is the only city still run the rare F40PHM-2. If one is lucky, one might find a East Corridor electric train hiding at the 18th Street yard.
wow, five private cars on the first Amtrak, almost a many as the Amtrak consist itself. Nice video, I'd love to see the same out of Penn station or Grand central in NYC.
Also a private car on the 2nd train. I sadly didn't get a chance to see them when I took the Amtrak bluewater 365 from Flint to Chicago last month guess they aren't there all the time.
Awesome. Great spot to view tons of station traffic. It was interesting to see someone throwing switches manually so close to the station where traffic is continuous. I wonder what would be the reason that these are not CTC controlled electrically. I always like to observe trackside equipment [a holdover from model railroad days past, I suppose] and so I spotted around 39 minutes in when you maybe were more on the east side of the Roosevelt Rd bridge two grey colored structures spanning a couple of tracks each. They have large reels on the upper parts. Does anyone know the purpose of these ?? Maybe shore power for parked commuter trains ?? Great job; really enjoyed watching.

Push pull trains have a cab car in front. Same controls that the engineer would have in an engine just not a physical locomotive. Saves time and money during rush hour. In short, the answer is no.

Some of Metra's locomotives don't have a separate HEP generator and the main prime mover is used to supply power to the coaches. Because of this they rev higher.
@@NYTrainzchaser Interesting. I think adding to that high rev sound is that these are two strokes, so they might always sound faster than a comparable 4-stroke would sound.

Awesome video thanks for sharing
What type of locomotive is on that Amtrak train at 23:03?
It's one of the SC-44 Chargers that Amtrak uses on regional trains around Chicago.
My favorite place to watch passenger trains. It's a grand station as well.
What's the best viewpoint over there? Roosevelt Polk or lumber
Do they go in reverse with the engine pushing the train instead of pulling?
Push pull trains have a cab car in front. Same controls that the engineer would have in an engine just not a physical locomotive. Saves time and money during rush hour.
In short, the answer is no.

dam metra got a whole lot of trains
16:03 Is it normal for a locomotive to emit that much pollution or is there something wrong with it?
Its normal I see this often it happens mostly on them when up to speed
11:38 me and my twin next to the Amtrak super liners
Great video! Around what time was this? Also, would Canal St. be a good spot too?
Thanks! It was between 4 and 6 pm, and Canal St is a busy spot as well.
some of these locos seem to have constantly high revs
Some of Metra's locomotives don't have a separate HEP generator and the main prime mover is used to supply power to the coaches. Because of this they rev higher.
@@NYTrainzchaser Interesting.
I think adding to that high rev sound is that these are two strokes, so they might always sound faster than a comparable 4-stroke would sound.
Happy new year
I love your video!
Thanks!
Were you visiting Chicago from New York? If so hope you had a great time here!
Very nice video!
Thanks!

Still wonder why they not using elctricty for railways?
its expensive silly
I feel that one train Leaves and one Arrives
@ 8.42 sec. What type of apparatus is that yellow car?
It's a Trackmobile that is used for switching.
Hey man. Great railfanning video. Metra railfanning videos are always super fun to watch. I’m working on a video talking about Metra, and I was wondering if I could use this video in my video? I will credit you and link this in the description
How to even get into 16th street tower?
Wow great compilation subscribed... Love from indian RAILFAN💕🙏
Thanks!
Would have enjoyed seeing the amtrack trains there the ones ride
Intetesting video. I have to say that the rail infratructure and operation appear quite dated for 2021.
I Agree. It seems so Old School. I Love it!
Why were the doors open while in motion on some metra trains?

Why were you kicked out?
It kinda sucks when security tells you to stop recording :(
Were you actually in 16'th street tower?
No, just near it.
Those bloody bell’s I couldn’t work with that noise.
Are the trains in the first (big) track from left being put together all the time?
Why bnsf in The side of The coach?
Because they are used on the bnsf line, which is owned and operated by bnsf.
@@thebridgeportkid1 Metra owns the equipment, but contracts BNSF to run the line
Daily Commute, it's always this busy, even during the night.
Good video!!!
And even BVB Dortmund in Chicago...
I wish I were engineering metra trains right now, but I’m 11, but almost 12
there is some infatuation about these big machines which no other machine will ever fulfill.
I wonder how many F40s are still in service on Metra's roster?
EvanF1293 all of them
@@BNSF1848 You sure I think some might of been pulled by now since metra has lots of locomotives and perhaps to many
EvanF1293 yes all are still operating, as you can see, many are being rebuilt
@@BNSF1848 oh but yeah I do know some are getting rebuilt
