  • The BNSF Metra Line from Chicago to Aurora is incredible to watch and experience. The combination of Amtrak, Metra (express and local), and freight trains make up an intricate choreographed dance.

    Metra and the Sears Tower at 0:43, doesn’t get more Chicago than that!

    If only the freight really ran that fast!

      I know, that would be nice. There is a huge rail yard close to here, and that's why the freight trains sometimes move slow or stop.

    Lived in Berwyn for many years, good memories of a great train watching town. that 1970's van (1:52) looks like new.

    Oh man, definitely don't want to be driving in that area around rush hour.

      I was thinking the same thing! Must be quite a challenge, and it must be a nightmare for ambulances and fire trucks responding to a call!

    Any idea what that surfliner car was doing on the first Amtrak?
    Also those poor cars waiting for that first freight train!

    Was this taken before Metra began running on the new schedule?

      Rusty yes, I think so. This was actually the summer of 2018. I was a bit delayed editing and posting this video.
