I used to ride this line from Harvard to Chicago every summer I visited my grandparents and it drove me crazy how many stops there were, especially after Barrington
Hahaha im from Crystal lake we have two stops in 1 town
If the amount of stations drive you crazy, then the BNSF line is your sworn enemy. On that line, every stop is like a half mile from each other up until Downers Grove.
I like this line because it is "out in the countryside"
Yet still a quiet zone due to there being just enough Karens who belong in Lake County existing there.

I remember this line. As a kid living in Des Plaines, my father took this train line from Cumberland Road back when Chicago and Northwestern Railroad. As an adult working in Cary IL, across the street from the office I worked at is the Cary Metra Station. After work early Saturday afternoon, took the train to Chicago
25:23 I love how all the passengers just start waving at the engineer when he starts honking lol
35:50 Cary

I used to ride this train route 5 times a week during 2000 to the loop. I'm now retired in Maui and just purchased a Kato version of this train. I was hoping to capture train announcements for my layout.
bellissimo video.
35:04 my hometown
44:40 my birthplace
I’m at 28:00 my guy
8:00 This train is kickin' ass, and not even bothering to take names in the process!!! What is track speed here?
It's about 70 I presume
Speed Limit on this line is 79 mph
I wish they'd put the station names on screen so hearing impaired could see them. Most other train videos do this.
Not sure if someone is holding the camera or what, but when it comes off it's tripod it stops the footage jumping...(noticeable on a bigger screen )
First crossing right off the bat provided the public with about 7 seconds of warning time before occupying the crossing. Exactly what rule book is this train operating off of? Think the FRA needs to pay a visit to that crossing.
It's definitely set up so that the crossing doesn't go down while trains are loading/unloading here (being a terminus, trains will often dwell at the platform for an extended period of time). But yeah, the engineer should have a way to lower the gates BEFORE they start moving the train. Alternatively they should have a flag person here manually operating the gates/signals.
Great video! Anyone know why the train passed the red block signal at 47:35? I am just guessing that is a block signal by the way it looks. Is it possible the engineer is going by cab signals and ignoring the block signal?
Going to assume some sort of issue with the signal as that's the distant signal for the Barrington interlocking. Going by the extremely reduced speed between there and clearing the plant limits and then accelerating to a more normal speed despite the closeness to the Barrington depot I'm assuming the engineer got the ok to pass the red from dispatch.
When was this trip to Chicago? There is so many people waiting to get on the train.And its the afternoon when people usually coming home ,not going into the city.What day is this?...Nice video even tho it is wobbly..
@Madelyn Smith it was December of 2019
It's a weekend day, when a single ticket is good for the whole weekend. (Update in 2021: ...or a single weekend day.) Overheard it from the conductor as he was collecting tickets leaving Harvard. There's also a good deal for families, so hence you hear more children's voices. Makes for a nice family trip into downtown Chicago.
I wish they would have added the names of each stop. Hard to make them out in the video :(
That’s my metra line
Mine too
Same
Car has a flat wheel. Bad enough to shake the camera and make everything blurry.
That is caused by a stupid car, or pedestrian challenging the train for time making the conductor jamb on the brakes. They don't stop for animals like deer.
42:00 that’s were all happened 1993 the crossing and traffic light 7 dead
i thought that was '95
It was 1995. Sad memory
Why is the train wrong-railing?
Former Chicago & Northwestern.
@@sludge4125 so wait, did C&NW always do wrong-rail operations? I don't think they were British, right?
@@massbytrainmpw The line was single tracked formerly, and when the other track was added, it was too expensive to change all the signaling. The entire UP-N UP-NW and UP-W is like this
36:10 lol
134 is now rebuilt and repainted into an lightning bolt
Don't care
@@nellyrichardsin1590dude, you know I like Metra F40PH Lightning Bolt Scheme
I thought this was going to be a cab ride. Not sitting in the middle families
Unfortunately we’re not allowed to ride in the actual cab! You have to sit in the Cab Car! Normally it’s not open!
What language are those people speaking?
Spanish.
@@slobgrx It sounded like greedo from starwars 😅😅
Stephen Anthony Is it really such a bad thing that somebody is speaking a different language?
@@kmvstudios9072 double cutting sword there, sure it's good people speak other languages but having English being the native language in the US... but on the other hand, it's a family
Bull shit
It looks like 13-16 min delay
Car number?

@@metrabnsfrails3641 ok thanks
Cary is where I live
Was this Biden's illegal immigrant express? I don't get why there is Spanish being spoken in the cab.
Lol like 15% off the population in Harvard-crystal lake/cary are Hispanic. Let them be
Gonna cry? You don't even take the train anyway.
Harvard, Illinois, the first station on this trip, has had a significant Hispanic population for at least 20 years. It's a weekend ride into Chicago with family-friendly fares. First-generation kids talking with their parents in the language of their parents is as ordinary is it gets.
This sounds like it is Pakistan---------------don't like it.........
Why don't you all learn the English language?
How many languages do you know?
If they're conversing with one another it's OK with me but if they're speaking to someone who doesn't know the dialect, that's when the language barrier becomes apparent and misunderstanding is a given.

why don't you mind your business?
