There's one of the old Metra cars. I use to really like them, they were so pretty. I would like to know whatever happened with them because I've heard that the light-gray cars with red/blue striping that I've seen repeatedly over the past few years are from the 1980s, and I was wondering if they were the white ones with the red/black striping, but got a new paint job.

@boardman49 This was the Milwaukee District West line from Elgin/Big Timber to Chicago Union Staion

Enjoyed your video very much. Is that rack down the center of the car for baggage?

This line Is The Milwuakee District West Line That Runs From Elgin To Chicago Everyday

they are bi-level cars this on the upper deck the "hole" is so when passengers walk through they dont have to duck under the upper deck
The crossing starting at 3:35 is the Elmwood Park (Grand Ave) crossing where there was a huge accident between a Metra train and about 20 cars six years ago.

Thanks. We boarded the train near Schaumburg which is northwest of the city, maybe 20 miles or so. I believe we were riding on BNSF rails.

that's great, i rode that line a lot of times. you caught a security announcement (they always played it before western av station) but you can barely hear it. anyways, thanks for the video :)
