The reason I asked was that it looked like it was coming out of the tunnel. I realized it was on the inside elevated track.

Okay, this is VERY cool!

This is a fantastic video! Thanks!
I rode the Skokie Valley Route and Mundelein Branch as much as I could, and wish I could have ridden the Shore Line Route. Now I ride the bike paths and can see remnants of the past.
I worked from 2003-2008 at the Insurance Company bounded by 5th, Clybourn, 6th & Michigan in Milwaukee (the site of the NSL terminal). Obviously, I couldn't commute to there by the NSL, but I did a RT every day from Glenview to Milwaukee via Amtrak. Almost as much fun.

@1974rail From what I know he was on the mechanical department for the CRT/CTA in Chicago for many years. One of his kin, Walter Keevil, is now one of the Admins for both CERA and Shore Line Interurban Historical Society.

Did the NSL always ride on the North Side Main Line? Did it ever use the State Street subway?
VolumedMusicMan 3 weeks ago
@VolumedMusicMan The NSL always used the Northwestern Elevated to reach downtown. I don't think it ever used the subway because of overhead clearance restrictions with their trolley poles.

Is the sound on this film an actual recording of the trip or is it dubbed? God bless.

@cbalducc It is dubbed. If you watch the South Shore Line 1927 you will hear the same sound dubs.
