Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 жов 2024
- Chicago's Metra is one of the biggest commuter rail services in North America. In this video, we'll take a look at Metra commuter trains running on several different lines in the year 2024. Our focus will be on the newer locomotives in Metra's fleet - those being the F59PH and F59PHI units as well as Metra's newest SD70MACH units, the only six axle commuter locomotives currently running in North America.

The Railfan treasure trove of a railroad!! If you’re looking for a commuter train that operates EMDs and nothing else, then Metra is for you!
That sums it up pretty well!
@@CoasterFan2105My favorite Trains are Freight Trains but I like Passenger Trains.
@@CoasterFan2105Oh btw I'll give you a shout out in one of my Train Videos.
HAPPY FRIDAY, FRIEND ! !
@@CoasterFan2105am I on time
This used to be my childhood railroad, I miss them so much. Great catches!
Thanks!
Thank you for my childhood
I love my AM power naps commuting on Metra's southwest service. So much better then driving to work
Happy 40th Anniversary ,Metra Trainset!
Awesome video! Good to see these older generation locomotives still rebuilt and running
Can’t we agree that that Metra’s MP36MPH K5LAs (and P5s) are so majestic to hear???
Yea
As a person who went to Chicago in the summer, I can identify that Metra is one of the best but biggest commuter rails in the Illinois area. I have taken two of their lines before (MD-N the most, BNSF Line to Berwyn, IL once).
KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK, +CoasterFan2105 ! KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK ! !
What a great video my friend, great beasts 👏
Many thanks!
I must admit that you are the best railway 🚃 UA-camr always watched you as a kid! And I still do❤️
Thanks for watching!
I know it's nostalgic but I really hope Metra gets some rolling stock that looks like it's from this century soon lol
They should be getting some new Alstom cars in the next few years!
I have never rode metra trains in Chicago but, those old locomotives will be forever ongoing
I love Metra trains, and I love filming Metra trains. Now that i live in FL, I haven't seen one in a while. Thanks for sharing this awesome video!
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Why does the BNSF line only have F40s while the other lines get the new locomotives and the F59
Very nice compilation of Metra trains!
Thanks for sharing.
I have quite a few of the new Borealis consists and the long standing Empire Builder around our area. Maybe a 'longer compilation of our summer sites is in order. Hmmm
Your videos are top quality.
Thank you! Much appreciated!
Love the videos man I always watch these videos and when I was a child🙏
I live close to Naperville station so I railfan there almost every day
I love costerfan2105 he is the best
I had no idea there was a freight diesel in the metra trans service to that’s cool
great catches!
WE LOVE YOU, MIKE ARMSTRONG

Best Metra commuter train video ever ❤😊keep it up on UA-cam.
KEEP 'EM COMING, MIKE ARMSTRONG ! KEEP 'EM COMING ! !
CERTIFIED FRESH VANILLA CAKES FOR VERY VERY EXCELLENT 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂
Sometimes I railfan at the Canal Street portal, and all of these locomotives you recorded are coming in and out every 10-ish minutes. Have you ever tried that spot?
I have not gone to that specific spot yet, but hopefully next time I'm in Chicago.
¡ÊH dinero fásî mola! 😂😂
Hello Mike, an interesting video about the METRA passenger trains. I like that many of the F59PH and F59PHI locomotives are still in use. Thanks for the great video and have a nice Sunday. Best regards from Germany.
Nice video, Metra is one of my favorite railroads.
SURPRISINGLY ENTERTAINING ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great video! Metra will always be one of the most loved passenger rail services in the Railfan Community and this video shows why. ❤️👍😎
Thank you! Metra is a really interesting commuter rail operation. I always enjoy seeing it when I'm in the Chicago area. Thanks for watching!
I miss these trains 🚂 😢❤
HAPPY FRIDAY, MIKE ARMSTRONG

Excellent compilation, a really interesting commuter railroad there!
Very nice video and memories shared here.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve seen a few bit of Metra trains when I was in Chicago, but all the crossings that I saw, had quiet zones. Which places are good to railfan for me next time with crossings having the horns sounded
Most of the system is a quiet zone, but there are still a few crossings that aren't. Thanks for watching!
Rockland Rd in Rondout, IL is a good spot for that
5:39 hold up I’ve seen this one
Very cool catches! I enjoyed your video!
Do you know where you railfanned in the first clip?
Chicago looks like they have a lot of train action!
Great video on the metra trains
Thank you, Paul!
@@CoasterFan2105 your welcome
Like 👍 beatiuful video ,greetings 👍🚂
Thank you, greetings!
LONG LIVE MIKE ARMSTRONG 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Metra has some really nice horns! wish all the coaster horns were like that.
Nice video Mike!
Thank you!
@@CoasterFan2105 your welcome!, have a great day!😊
Nice Metra Trains Catches!
Beautiful!!!
Oh cool I like that!
Thank you!
Hey Mike! What are your favorite Metra lines from greatest to least? Just curious!
It's hard to pick just one. I really like the Milwaukee West line because I think it has the best variety of photo locations, but they're all interesting and unique!
+CoasterFan2105, DO MORE "STEAM TRAINS GALORE" UA-cam VIDEOS, PLEASE ? 😃
Nice video
Thanks, Evan!
@@CoasterFan2105 No problem Mike!
I AM NEVER PRESSING THE UA-cam VIDEO DISLIKE BUTTON FOREVER
Does anybody know what are the models of those diesels?
They are SD70MACH units. SD70MAC freight locomotives with added Head end power capabilities.
@@CoasterFan2105 ah ok thanks
I was today years old when I learned that Metra has F59PHs
¡Segundo comentario!
I’m Assuming That The First Train Was Filmed At Lockport
These seem more like "real" trains than el "trains" of the CTA. Must be the locomotives and the railroad crossings.
7:45 - Great shot of the Sears . . . I mean, "Willis" tower.
How do they run revers with eengine at front and no clear sight?
You should talk about 3001!
When did Metra start using more K5LA's??
