Railroad Crossings of the Metra Milwaukee North Line Volume 1

- The Milwaukee North Line runs from downtown Chicago to Fox Lake. Metra owns the line the entire way. The line is double track from Chicago to Rondout, where the Metra line splits away from the CP line and continues west to Fox Lake.
Most crossings on the double track mainline have high pitched Siemens E Bells with a few mechanical bells, while the Fox Lake portion of the line is still almost all mechanical bells. I have a feeling CP is responsible for the electronic bells on the mainline.
This video covers my catches along both portions from February and March of 2018.

The Dundee Road and Shermer Road grade crossings in Northbrook bring back memories, as I used to live in Northbrook. My dad took the train from Northbrook every morning to work at Mayer Brown.

The Railroad Bell over 1:23 is a bell that I never heard at all.
P.S. 3 crossings in where I live (Mundelen IL) have the same tracks intersecting it. (Hawley Street, Park Street & Maple Avenue)

In the rondout to fox lake section, are the tracks owned by WSOR?
Metra technically owns them, but WSOR has trackage rights to Chicago along them. WSOR owns the tracks past Fox Lake station, namely the tracks that once carried commuter service to Walworth and are apparently planned to be restored to Richmond.
@@DowntownWithBrown thanks!
I see they replaced a lot of the Mechanical crossing bells AND the whiny Karens made the Fox Lake Sub a quiet zone.
