Took this train to chicago after boot camp from Great Lakes. Great ride.
Metra really needs to get on top of doing official cab rides for the Union Pacific lines.
yeah
I heard once that it was because UP would not allow Metra's social media department to film on the UP lines.
@@729MendicantTide they haven't done heritage corridor yet
The UP lines always were conspicuous by their absence on the Metra channel.
That may change soon, the Metra takeover of the UP service is happening this year.
Great ride, but I'd love to see it earlier in the day. I'd like to pass through Great Lakes while the sun is out, one more time.
I like it from the back instead of front. You can see more.
Could you do a southbound video that would be facing forwards? It seems that the Union Pacific North and the Heritage Corridor are the only two Metra lines that don't have a real-time, full length, front-facing cab ride video. Metra has said they plan to do an official Ride Along for the HC at some point, but since UP "won't allow" Ride Along videos, it would be nice to have one from someone else (though frankly I think that UP is full of it, since several other people have gotten full length videos of the UP-W and UP-NW lines and they haven't pitched a fuss or demanded the videos be taken down)
Could you do this trip at noon and re-film it?
Chicago IL to Kenosha WI that's long
I’d love a time lapse for this!
Many years ago this line was 4 tracks to Davis, 3 to Central Street and down to 2 just south of Wilmette!
I go to wilmette station a lot!

So would you recommend this over the Hiawatha service offered by Amtrak for Wisconsinites commuting to Chicago? While it is less frequent and possibly more expensive, it is faster.
This is the line where a section of "Home Alone" was filmed.
I think the house was in Lake Forest, right? the stop at like 34:30
@@commanderrussels2612 no the home alone scene was at the Hubbard woods station
@@oct197. Thanks!
@@commanderrussels2612 welcome
Iff this train ran on UP'S tracks, why didn't I see any f of their reight trains?
It's like this route was owned by Metra, with the lack of UP Freight traffic.
How many lines in the Chicago area run wrong iron? Or as we say against the current of traffic. I think I read something years ago that some Chicago lines run this way and some F locomotives had the engineer on the left side or maybe dual controls.
The 3 union pacific lines (UP-N, UP-NW, UP-W) all run left handed
@@oziyard136 Any reason why?
@@PeteDJPJ despite the various stories of the first locomotives CNW got being English locomotives or such IIRC the real reason was as they expanded the number of tracks they expanded away from the sides with the depots and wanted to reduce the number of passengers having to cross to inbound trains as well as for the inbound milk runs to load from the from the depot side rather than having to move the milk cans across active tracks to stage for loading.
Haha passing a lot of spots that I recognize well
34:51 that’s my fav station
Was that I 94
I thought Metra only served the state of Illinois, i didn't know it served the state of Wisconsin
Kenosha is the only stop outside of Illinois for the whole of METRA.

@@aycc-nbh7289 It's faster? How do you figure? It is 90 minutes from Milwaukee to Chicago and one hour from Sturtevant. How is this line faster please?
Rob Dehlinger I was referring to Amtrak’s service.
Sorry for misreading your comment, my bad!
