Metra Morning Rush Hour Time-Lapse, Chicago

- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- Last week I posted the full 2 hour morning Metra rush hour. This is the 13 minute time lapse of the same video. Enjoy!
I notated all the trains that are in service. The trains that don't have text next to them are out of service trains, or deadhead moves. This is the morning rush hour so most trains inbound towards the city are full of commuters. Many of the trains outbound are headed to the yard empty to sit and wait for the evening rush hour.
The music is from app.soundstripe.com
The songs are:
Metropolis Daybreak Cody Martin instrumental
Chasing Light Rob Fleming instrumental

Wow, these graphics in "City Skylines" are really impressive! Must be a new patch.
Luke! Great job as usual.
The billboard at the end says it all re: the Chicago commute!!
Are you talking about the Metra sign that says, "Easy come. Easy Go"? I searched my video and didn't see anything else.
Luke,
Yes, that's the one! Still can't believe how many people use the highway out NW when the train is right there.
This one is beautifully done!
Thank you!
Love the impressive skyline and the hustle demonstrated by trains getting folks to their destinations...fabulous!
This is a very nice hotspot, would like it pay a visit really soon
Great 👍🏻 video Luke. Lots of painstaking work apparent- labeling & color coding the various lines and trains. Literally a beehive of activity. Need one of Chicago’s South suburbs! Excellent video.
There's just the tiniest glimpses of the EL!
Good job
If only the trains ran on electricity...
That grade crossing is so awkward.
The Metra Electric District is electrified.
Now that's a rush hour in the beginning right there
Hi, Luke! Here I am watching your works! I'm curious to know what it's like to travel on a 2-story train. So funny this people walking fast.... hehehe
Funny seeing so many light power moves.
xray606 What do you consider light power moves? Are you talking about just one engine? That seems appropriate for how few passenger cars are in the train.
@@Luke_Starkenburg Yeah, typically railroads in the US refer to a move with locos only, as 'light power'. They were moving around quite a few. They might transfer them from one side to the other after the rush, depending on the need. Or they might bring them back to the shop on the south end.
@@xray606 Check out this short clip from another of my videos. ruclips.net/video/WAMq0g1dWHY/видео.html. Start around 1:40. It's one loco pulling 136 cars in upstate NY.
Busy publishing videos again 😀 really good! I am still working on my Qatar videos. Coming soon to a screen near you 👀
Speedbird1 FLY yes, after a long hiatus, I’m back at it!!
I’m looking forward to seeing your Qatar videos!
@@Luke_Starkenburg Excellent news. I recently posted the trip report about LATAM. It does take time and I have a busy schedule at the best of times. :-)
This has me confused. I thought OTC was on the ne side of the Loop and the union station was on the sw corner of the loop.
Why do most of the outbound trains not have descriptions?
Spencer Boxer I forgot to mention that any trains that aren’t notated are out of service, or deadhead trains. They are going empty to the yard. Since this is the morning rush hour, most of the inbounds are full and a log of the trains we see going outbound are heading to the yard empty until the evening rush hour.
Luke Starkenburg ah
8:51, did you see what was on the Pullman coach?
No, it looked a little different than the other older cars.
@@Luke_Starkenburg No there was little red spots on the top
@@chicagolandrailfan1550 I saw that but I don’t know what that was.
Why do you want A lot of trains
