- Six Metra Union Pacific Northwest line commuter trains recorded in Mount Prospect, Il. All trains were hauled by EMD F40PH locomotives. In the video you can also see the signals of railroad crossings in the Mt. Prospect station area. I've recorded crossings at Emerson Street, South Main Street and a station platform pedestrian crossing near South Maple Street equipped with interesting, dwarf signals.
Locomotives in the video:
1.F40PH-2 #155
2.F40PH-3 #126
3.F40PH-2 #177
4.F40PH-3 #141 + F40PH-2 #168
5.F40PH-3 #128
6.P40PH-3 #140 + F40PH-3 #144
Filmed on 25th and 26th August 2016.
9:22 these are so cute!😍
Yes, baby railroad crossing. LOL
Great video! I love these crossings! Got to see them myself actually. I love when two trains cross at the same time even if it's a quiet zone the horns are blown.
Thanks :) These pedestrian signals were really interesting things to record, as I've never seen similar signals on any CZcams video before.
Is that a pool in the Redwood crossing
Those little pedestrian signals are so cute!
Great video! Really liked the crossing with the tiny pedestrian signals!
+Swedish Level Crossing Channel Thanks a lot! I liked those signals too, especially their odd size and the fact that each one of them had a different e-bell ;)
I called them dwarf pedestrian Crossing signals
Dobrodošli
Oo, film. Tego się nie spodziewałem o.o Bardzo ciekawe to przejście, szczególnie panele LED tych śmiesznych sygnalizatorków
+Linia Kolejowa 207 i inne© Dość nietypowe, przyznaję. Nie widziałem innych filmów dokumentujących tą sygnalizacyjną ciekawostkę ;)
1:58!!!!!!! God of all camera angles
This platform in the middle of the tracks provided a very good view on the oncoming trains! Here, the sunlight also acted great and thankfully the temperature wasn't too high, so the air didn't shake that much. Greetings from Poland!
Ver great video, Artur! Very detailed recordings of the railway crossing! Interesting the double decker railcar!
Thumbs up :-) Best regards from Germany - Mike :-)
+mickles - Trainspotter Thanks a lot, Mike :) Regards back from Poland!
Wow! I haven't been there before I live in California San Diego
Metra Train Mount Prospect
Love the horns 1:12
Bardzo fajnie że wrzucarz filmy z pociągami pochodzącymi z innych krajów
+goguś goguś Dzięki :)
9:08 LOL A Tiny Pedestrian Railroad Crossing
1:00 that one signal shutters a lot right there!
9:08 I've never seen one of those signals close up before! I've seen a picture of one in Denver, but it looked like just the E bell! Seems odd that the lights are about at ankle height!
+MrBnsftrain Yup, those signals are a very odd invention. It's also interesting that each one of them had a different type of E-bell ;) Greetings from Poland!
You should visit Los Angeles and film some Metro Rail action. Best locations to do this is Highland Park, Pasadena, West LA, Florence-Graham, and Long Beach
Rare to see a doubleheaded Metra
I called those crossing signals dwarf pedestrian crossing signals
1:23 Double train
10:42 xdddd
10:41 Introducing.... A Mini Railroad Crossing!
10:51 RC car crossing
Then the dog crossing
10:14 Oh yeah, let's violate the devices...
*nsfw music starts playing*
The third one looks like an LED version of some signals that used incandescent gate lights.
+freebrickproductions Yup, It's very similar. However, it is still very interesting to me that each of those signals had a different E-bell (Safetran Type-2 and WCH, I guess). Greetings from Poland!
It's a General Signals Type 2. A Safetran Type 2 would have a different base (and an NEG e-bell would have the same base as a Safetran Type 2 most of the time).
The LEDs are also 8 inch Union Pacific LEDs, or at the very least look like them.
Thanks for correction :) In the US you have really wide selection of crossing bells and there are many groups of a very similar ones. For example - without reading a manufacturer's name it is nearly impossible, I think, to differentiate Griswold M-Bell and RACO M-Bell.
WRRS, Federal Signal, and early WCH mechanical bells can be hard to bell apart as well without looking at the back. But yea, the US does have a wide variety of bells! Likely due to the US government basically giving railroads free reign over what equipment they want to use as long as it meets a basic set of standards. And with somewhere around 155,000 crossings across the US, it makes sense to do it that way!
Is Mt Prospect still a horn zone to this day?
Btw, great camera angle @ 2:03
Quiet zone. However anywhere in a QZ horns are blown when 2 trains cross at the same time.
Thanks :) I agree that the shot at 2:03 is the best of all of them ;) And about the QZ, I think that the Gametrain Productions have explained it very well. Greetings from Poland!
someone from poland all the way in america? and you go to t his line? Gotta go to some killer fright lines around here next time your in America :D
Probably the only reason for me to record trains in here was the fact that during the majority of my US trip I was staying in the house of my uncle which is located about a half mile from the Mt Prospect station. Because of that it was definitely easiest thing for me to record trains in there :D Another thing is that my US stay wasn't like a train trip, but more likely a family holiday journey, so i hadn't really had that much time for trainspotting. Anyway, I still think that I've managed to bring some good train stuff from this trip as I've recorded the freight trains race You've seen in another video, some old crossing signals in Woodbourne, PA and this bells only crossing in Deerfield, IL. I've been to the Illinois Railway Museum as well.
wait you filmed this in 2016? or was that a typo?
Yup, this video is from summer '2016.
oh cool
Nice u blurred the people lol
2:44 :DDD
