Chicago Metra: Franklin Park & College Avenue

This is a special video of a new series called Chicago Metra. Unfortunately Five Chime Productions only gets to travel to Chicago about 1-2 times a year. This video takes place in Franklin Park and College Avenue near Chicago, Illinois. FCP captured the action of the many Metra commuter trains making station stops and many of the Union Pacific and Soo freight train run bys. There is even a special light engine move consisting of Union Pacific's Olympic Torch Relay locomotives 2001 & 2002!!! So sit back, enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Notice; the the passenger trains at the College Ave. stop run English style in their directions. Not so at the Franklin Park stop, which run American style directionally.

@DVCourt88 You are correct. The reason being I believe is because when the UP line (College Ave.) was first constructed, there were platforms built only on one side of the tracks, so it was much easier to run the trains English style.
