I never knew there were trains with 2 floors on them! Wowl!

@jessicaanngerardi haha yah they are pretty common now-in-days.

[trainandhawksfan17]

what train was that?

[truckeetl79]

All "METRA" conductors on the BNSF are BNSF employees, and the BNSF worker is the Superintendant of suburban Operations for the Chicago subdivision

[Chicagojoe28]

Ohh...I see.

@truckeetl79 do you know that guy

[CNW8646]

I like that guy in the jacket, he is a railfan also, he can tell you anything about trains.

[Chicagojoe28]

you missed the close call yesterday as amtrak was pulling out metra came in and had ot put on the emergency brake to stop they were about 5 car lengths apart

[Chicagojoe28]

I saw that happen one other time in naperville too! Cool catch!

[MP36er]

I can guarantee you they did not need to use the emergency brake. Metra would have entered the block on a restricting signal and been going restricted speed - no more than 20mph. If they were going westbound, he probably got that close to clear Loomis Street.

[Chicagojoe28]

The one I saw he stopped at the curve and then headed for the station as the other train was departing.
