I enjoy this view! I have taken the Southwest Chief and California Zephyr out of Chicago and back dozens of times with only the view out the side windows. So this was awesome to see the drivers view of the racetrack! I think if I was the engineer the bell would drive me crazy after a few months!
I actually find the bell relaxing while watching the ride, although it's weird for me that it has to be used on crossings with gates and lights. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Germany.
that train driver must be deaf with that bell going all the time i would have if it was on my trains i used to drive here in england at 125mph [HST]---if it was not bell ringing all the time would have been good to watch but it ruins the video so a thumbs down for me

I finally found a Metra video where the bell is not constantly ringing. It was great!
what's the link?
We seem to have a fair amount of Train 🚆 Bell 🔔 Derangement Syndrome! thanks 🚩
That bell at the start sounds like something on a circus clown car.
it turns off at 3:39
Those are extremely irritating to me.
Thank goodness for the mute button!
Yoooo, this is amazing bro
No, cause the video quality is only 1080p, should be 8K60fps.
Great video! That engineer sure likes to keep the bell on.
Always liked ATC even if the area east is a little rough
looked like a pretty hard stop at LaGrange...
What's with that bell ringing non stop the entire trip ? Can you imagine riding in the front half of that car every morning ? That's insane !
@@samlbrown6665 There's lots of crossings... and it's all quiet zones. It might also depend on the engineer.
Thanks for uploading
Yay Clarendon Hills is my home town 🏘🏘🏘

Since they can't use horns on this line, the bell is the best bet at crossings so people can hear it. Nice to see someone from another country!
Wow that was a hard one at la Grange and y was the brakes on so hard 🤔🤔🤔
For everyone wondering why the 🔔 is always going off well some metra lines are in a no horn zone meaning the driver cant use the horn all the time
Yeah, not watching an hour of that bell.
tell the engineer to turn it off
Watched the video with the sound muted. Could there be a reason for the constant bell?
Lots of crossings and no horn zones means constant bell. It is what it is
Feel a bit bad for any passengers in that cab car. That bell would have made me loose my mind!
@@j-bird1778 You can choose not to be in the cab car. That's on them.
@@oct197. Fair. Still. Any idea why the engineer kept it on the entire trip?
@@j-bird1778 I would assume it's because all of the crossings, but he might have just forgot to turn it off after leaving stations or crossings.
That bell is perfect
Trains are the best
You know the 💡 is Green so y aren’t Going so fast 🤔🤔🤔
The bell is the worst sound
gotta use it on a busy line with a lot of crossings
@@oct197. Many Metra lines have as many or more crossings, and no bell except crossings and stations

The engineer is far enough where it doesn't bother him. Sorry you didn't like it but it's out of my control
