@bparson1 This train, like many commuter trains, is operating in "push-pull" configuration. This allows the engine to pull in one direction, and then push for the return. Such a configuration allows quick turns-around, as the train does not need to be reversed on a wye at its terminals.
Why do you say the wrong track? I am familiar with the entire Metra/BNSF line and its not uncommon for trains to travel on the 'left' side of the road.
the title says there was someone attempting to cross the tracks which is why i clicked. but....at least it involved a Train! I love Trains! Love the video, Love the Train, Subscribed!

@vikilouise1 So if this is the "shitest video ever", what does that make you? World's worst speller? Biggest moron ever? most gullible person ever? biggest fag ever? Well, I'll tell you what it does mean, it means you're blocked man ;)
Good vid mate. Ignore the idiots on the comments section, they just dont get it do they. The reason he was sounding off the horns was because of the idiot that cross the tracks. So man people need to look outside the box foronce.But yeah great vid. 10/5 hehe
@CoasterFan2105 im not angry but it looks like other people here are having a bit of trouble taking your word for it. Did anyone capture the idiots in action? if so, we'd love to see it.
I thought you can't walk across the main tracks there in 59? There is a tunnel there. I think there is a tunnel in Naperville and Lisle stops too. On other lines there aren't any pedestrian tunnels. Have you been to the wheaton, Winfield, glen ellyn and Lombard stations? Or have you been to the Hanover park or Arlington park stations? They have no tunnels for you to walk under. You have to cross the tracks to get to the other side.
@mokos23 WE HAVE A WINNER~~~ YEP, there is a tunnel to go through each side...which means...bs.s. vid as far as ppl crossing tracks. nice to see the 400 series and to know there must have been other trains on the track for an EB to be on the WB side of the tracks
the train pulled on to the wrong track?? excuse me that was a double decked train(being from scotland we only have mere single decks)what ever track it chooses to use is fine with me, i wont argue with it. dont they have bridges or tunnels to allow folk to cross the track safely? if not then its ok i think id rather catch the next one, rather than get a one way trip in a hearse
ur not supposed to enter the tracks and the horn was so loud that it hurt my ears listening to it on the video......how the hell can they be so stupid?! when they get hit then they'll understand not to do that if they live
People do this because they apperently do not understand what a train can do to them. And I would not be supriesed if those were the people leaving the retarded comments below.
Hmm, the train pulls into a station on the wrong track, and people are idiots for crossing over tracks to board? (say nothing of the idiot person responsible for putting the train on the wrong track)
Great video Coasterfan2105!!! It's not often if ever that you get any horn action in a silent zone. who cares about the people. Let them get hit by the train. railfanning isn't about the people it's about the trains. I rate this 5*****
Thank you for cussing half a million times. Might I add that what kind of a perverted idiot would go searching for videos of people being hit by trains? I guess I have found my answer.
I mean why would you name the video that if you can't see that shit. You would have got better ratings if you named your video, "Metra Wrong Rail @ Route 59" You description just sets you up for failure off the bat!
Most double decker cars in America have an area on each end of the car that is standard height(as if one level). Those are where the doors are located. It's much better if the platform is raised :)
I'm going to let you have the last word - I promise you that you WILL have the last word - make it good - lets see what you can come up with - RESPOND TO ME - YOU WILL RESPOND
Let me nurse maid you through the process of labeling this video: 1 watch your video 2 comprehend that it's just a video of a train coming towards you. 3 Lable the video something like: Here comes a stupid train.
I think I know how to title a video, not LABLE, thanks. I dont want to end up like you, a weird freak with 10 or so stupid videos who wastes tons of his life complaining about the TITLE OF A VIDEO!!! Seriously dude, get a life!
I'll let you in on lil secret - if you label your videos properly you won't draw all this fire - apparently I'm not alone if you read all the comments.
"all this fire" you and one or 2 other people out of 40 are the only ones who said something nasty. READ THE DESCRIPTION! I don't care what you say, you have the right to your opinion. FYI: You may want to press the REPLY button when replying to comments.
So...your goal is to get views by wasting peoples time? Got it! ...one more thing - you call "them" idiots for almost getting hit by a train but YOU'RE the idiot that couldn't capture it on film! Ironic.
And your user name should be "BitchingMoronWhoWantsToSeePeopleGetKilled". At any rate, it has gotten this video more views, comments, and ratings than any of yours.
I actually didn't see anything and I have a knack of seeing the small things. I am a huge train fan out on Long Island and idiots on the LIRR are a dime a dozen. So many people killed because they can't wait a minute! How bad is it for Metra in Chicago?
It like never happens. Its not that that bad but theres times when people are impateint and cross the Metra train tracks when there not subpose too. I live right next to the Chicago Metra train line.
i cant stand stupid ppl like that. they dont hav a care for ne1 but themselves and wut they "need" to do. its theyre fault for bein on the wrong platform. at naperville where i railfan, theres a fence between tracks one and two and a tunnel under teh tracks to prevent stupidity
If those people only realized there is a pedestrian tunnel that runs under the tracks that connects the north and south platforms at the station....and there's a fence that seperates the tracks
Usually there is a fence between tracks on BNSF... however I notice on Metra owned lines that when crews do tie replacement the fence comes down, so this could have been the case.
The 'idiots' were most likely behind the camera running across the tracks from the opposite platform since this train is running left handed which is not typical for BNSF, nor is it typical for an engineer to blast the horn for no apparent reason.
At the end I see another train coming. What train was that?
