  • The Midwestern United States is home to a wide variety of different trains and railroads. Everything from fast commuter and intercity passenger trains to steam powered excursion trains can be found here. In the summer of 2024, I was able to spend several weeks documenting many different trains for various upcoming video projects. In this video, we take a look at just a sampling of some of the trains I saw in late July and early August in the states of Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, and Michigan.

    1:59 Bruh Metra 411 blaring it’s horn through town, it’s crazy! Plus the K5LA is bloody beautiful to listen to my ears!

      I was very surprised to hear it! I don’t remember any of the MP36s with K5LAs that sounded that nice!

      @CoasterFan2105  26 дней назад +3

      There was one P42 running on the Chicago to St Louis trains while I was out there and I tried so hard to catch them on the 110 MPH segments. I finally just waited one night for the southbound to come through around 10:30 at night. It ended up being the only scene I got with a P42 going over 100 MPH!
