Union Station, you can see 3. But thats why Chicago is Amtraks 4th busiest hub.

[DjFreemode]

love the triple meet of the amtrak and two metras.

[TommyBNSF]

Wow nice meet! There's actually 4 if you count the Dash 8 in the background.

2:13 that is one smoky EMD F40PHM-2

[bountyhunter2341]

@Emubirdproductions1 its overheated 

[ChicagoSteve]

@Emubirdproductions1 yeah really

[ChicagoSteve]

I would not like to ride in the front car of that smoky Metra. Yuck! 

[cojocarius]

you don't have electrified line?

[Chicagojoe28]

@cojocarius yah a bit east of here.

[gibb1991]

@cojocarius Chicago Union Station currently does not have an electrified line. However, the Metra Electric Line and the South Shore Line both service Millenium Terminal, the only electrified hub station in the city.

[VIA909]

At 5:18 what type of Metra unit is that? MP40PH?

[Chicagojoe28]

@VIA909 An MPI MP36ph

[bountyhunter2341]

@VIA909 thats the new MP-36PH , their are going to replace all the F-40ph's that are currently being used in cities nationwide , like MBTA , METRA , MARC , VRE , AMTRAK , CAL TRAIN , UTA ( its basically the new version of the f40ph , way faster , stronger , lighter , reaaaaaaaaally fuel efficiant , doesnt cost as much money to repair , eco friendly , its pretty tall though , thats why amtrak hasnt bought any to use in the nec but their planning to buy some for other routes to replace old P40s
