  • You chicago people don't have any idea how lucky you are. If you live in Ann Arbor, MI, you get 2 freight trains a day, and one is light power. You can hop on a metra for a few bucks and have the best "foaming" anywhere. I'm not dissing you, I'm dissing Ann Arbor.

  • RED and Silver rules ya twit.

  • in 1991 there were different bells why were the bells changed

  • Correction with all due respect Frank the Eastbound SWC was Amtrak train #4 even numbered trains go on Eastbound Trains and Odd numbered ones go on Westbounds

  • I never really noticed how high those PS2-CD hoppers ride in real life

  • Correction: BNSF povides the employees.

  • grate video. Nice one here is the different trains mostly pulled by asea 5100kw locomotives. the delays here started after 30mins. mostly delays happen when the trains need to clime up here. we are in 600m altitude from the sea level.

  • They do not. Metra is a guest on BNSF's rails, but metra provides their own employees and equipment.

  • I know i may have already asked you this, but do you film in 60i or 24p frame rate?
