Looks like a good spot to video trains

That was great! The very first scene, with the UP power move racing with the Amtrak, was of a great timing.

The clouds hiding the sunlight have produced some interesting effects. It was a good idea to show the bridge raising.

Question : why does the BNSF crest appears on Metra's cars? Does the BNSF own Metra?

Two words for your work : timing and variety.

@DaringDramis BNSF still has it's own commuter line but it is operated in cooperation with Metra. So the cars with both Metra and BNSF on them are just commuter cars operated on BNSF trackage but are operated by Metra.

Did you go to Union Station for National Train Day? I was going to come down there but you know I didn't want to hear all that complaining. And that looks like the Hiawatha. When I went I met the engineer who goes back and from (from chicago to milwaukee everyday.) He's really cool. Maybe I will post a video of me talking to him.

@Jabbajawz4life That's not the Hiawatha.

Everything in this video is arriving North into Union Station.

The Hiawatha would be arriving South.
