Chigaco: Let's build our subway system on an elevated platform, with lots of intersections and tight 90° turns.
FrostyAUT It’s old so pretty much that’s how it went
Turns out grid systems have a lot of 90° corners. Who knew.
Also, this system was built when trains barely topped speeds which would have made turning those corners dangerous.
And yet, the El is a distinctly Chicago thing.
Its because in that area, you CANNOT dig. (This part of chicago)
It’s so we can root our bad drivers who speed as they quit from head injuries after being flung out of there seat round the bends at speed

"How often do the trains go by?" "So often you wont even notice"
By far the best reference you could make for this video!

Came here for this.
Thats actually so true. You began to not even notice after so long.
I know this spot!! :) The building across tracks is a hostel. Stayed there a few times when I came to Chicago just for 1 day.. I laid in bed at night and listened to the noise of the trains going by. Loved it! :)
The great thing about railways is the diversity of different systems across the world. I think the Chicago network reflects this beautifully. It's a bit special, very unique. The trackwork alone is an art form.
no sir, it is dirty, unsafe, and unreliable. go to any third-world country and their train is far superior to this 🤣
The l train
@@f-zeroracer9767 Best joke I’ve heard all day. I’m guessing you come from a place like India where tens of thousands die on the railway every year.
Very unique noise all days
One think I love about the Australian railways is how each state has a unique rail system.
8:20 a horn beep capture, unbelievable
You can hear it all the time at yellow line crossings
Why is it unbelievable
I have many times.
Cause these trains dont blow their horn that often
and a friendly wave
People in this comment section seem to not realize that Chicago also has a proper subway that runs underneath downtown
Only the red and blue line tho
I'm wondering if living/working next to those trains is not a nightmare because of noise and vibrations
Actually when you walk underneath a track In Chicago while a train is passing by you think the world is going down.
I don’t know what it is but here in Berlin our „subway“ trains are so quiet that you barely even notice them when they run over the road you are on.
You get used to it. After a certain point your brain completely tunes it out.
Yeah it's not too bad. Honestly the constant blade of emergency vehicle sirens is more annoying and noticable
"The train goes so often you didnt even notice it"
My friend live near Airport 😂
Also, who doesn't just love the sound of the trucks rumbling while coming in contact with other tracks?
Anyone living near it.
13:15 That is cool

It is a tremendous sharp curve! The Chicago train is also famous in Japan.
Really?
Japanese will laugh at this.....
PickleBetard A.K.A Pickle Rick's Fatass Cousin because of how slow and tiny they are?
huh
Japan's trains are mostly of narrow gauge so I believe they'll be able to negotiate sharp curves at higher speed, due to lower slippage of the inner wheels
when I was a kid in Chicago in the 1940's, I rode the elevated for 4 cents. I liked the locals where I could ride outside....It was great!!
How old are you 😂

@@Neo-qj2zb ur math is off
ride outside? without doors?
At 17:09.. Notice the yellow poles.. those are "Stingers" It happens time to time that a L train gets stuck on a curve due to the third rail shoe isn't making enough contact.. A CTA worker will come to aid and "sting the shoe" so the L train just has enough power to move forward in order to regain contract on the third rail again.
nice can you get high on these?
They have a similar system for the Docklands Light Railway in East London, except instead of 'stingers' because they are driver less trains someone drives another train up to it and gives it a push from behind
Been there done that in New York.
@@TapOnX no you can get dead
No one asked but ok

Both trains are my 2 crushes

Did you film it from Bill's office?
One is pink line and the other is purple line.
Like figure skating of subway trains. I mean, overway trains. I mean overground trains...
I like these old fashioned, sparkling trains. 👍🚈 I'd like to see some night footage!
Where's spiderman?
This is not new york
In New York, dumbass
This is Chicago not New York
This is not MTA! In Newyork!!!
13:15 - 13:25/ Freaking awesome! Like mirror images running in tandem, great timing on those old elevated structures. Would fit right in with the trains rumbling near my apartment building here in The Bronx. Just a great visual experience... 🇵🇷🇺🇸😉
"Damn it I just missed the train. When does the next one arrive?"
"If you look to the end of the platform you will see yet another one arriving..."
And THAT is why the Loop is popular. High frequency of trains, miss one, you catch the next and get near your outbound station. Your outbound train comes by and whisks you away.
I haven’t been to Chicago in a few years, and I really wanna go back, so this is pretty cool
FCRS Productions same. Used to live there until I was 10 and damn I feel homesick now.
The "L" is in really bad need of repair. Track is badly jointed, train suspensions are terrible, bad signaling. Same in NYC.
That's a sharp turn
90 foot radius.
The inside curve on the NE corner of the LOOP is supposed to be the sharpest curve on the operating system at 90 feet. This is standard gauge track. The CTA bends all of the rail in house.
Two door cars. Tiny.
Those curves are why the cars are only 48 feet long.
80 foot curves the last of them are in the Loop .
I've been playing with these trains and these tracks in Cities Skylines, and they're the backbone of my transportation system. This very video is really what inspired me to start playing that game in the first place. Now that I've spent a couple hundred hours engineering a city inspired by the Chicago L, it's really something to come back here and see the real thing again. I'm also extra impressed now that I'm routinely filling 8-car trains, which I see are a little rare (but not unheard-of!) in Chicago. Love it.
Ahh yes the metro overhaul mod.
I love watching CTA videos! Nice shot! MTA has my heart but I love the other transit systems as Well.

Welcome to Chicago! If you haven't done so already, I would recommend going to Howard and Belmont stations on the north side. At the north end of Belmont there's a good view of Clark Junction and tower, where the Brown Line leaves the North Side Main Line (Red and Purple Express Lines). If you're at Howard, the north end of the southbound platform gives the best views of the Howard Yard, as well as the Red Line turnaround loop, the Yellow Line tracks to Skokie, and the Purple Line tracks to Linden.
Also should be a decent amount of activity around there in the coming years as the bypass gets built!
you do cta railfanning aswell? I do it all the time.
8:22 Is the driver signalling or just waving?

Probably both to tower 18 and to the cameraman
ワイヤーみたいなので繋いであるからこの急カーブができるんですね
I'd never get any work done if I was there... just sitting there watching trains go past all day :)
I've gotta ride those someday soon.
If you ever visit Chicago for the trains take the Metra or the south shore line and ride In one of their double-decker trains the L-trains are cramped uncomfortable and they smell like piss sometimes.
It's a great experience.
Every line is great! Green Line is underrated, being the only completely elevated line and offering great views of the cities. It also passes through a number of nice stations like Morgan, Cermak-McCormick Place, and 35th-Bronzeville-IIT.
As a fellow Chicago resident born and raised, I wouldn't recommend it. I mean the staff keep it as clean as possible, hell cleaner than NYC trains I'm sure, but you still may get an uncomfortable ride. Mostly on the Green Line.
I've ridden one when we went to a baseball game
It’s unbelievable for a train to make a 90 degree turning! Loved from China 🇨🇳 ❤️
You'd be getting a "light show" @ nighttime at the Loop intersection
Mta plus Cta lol
I’ve been to Chicago and from experience their trains move a hell of a lot faster than MTA in NYC
Vary cool. I'm surprised at how much arcing there is from the contact shoes though, I'm not gonna lie, I kinda like it.
I was surprised to see you had commented on this Smt
Thoughts and prayers to those who live in the houses and apartments near the tracks and work in those office buildings. Especially the ones where the window is way too close to the tracks.
Meu sonho conhecer Chicago! Muito top a infraestrutura!
こんなに急なカーブでも脱線しないなんて……この鉄道凄すぎます！尊敬します
簡単
It doesnt derail because the go slow on sharp curves
Man, if only subway train traffic was more like this in LA! Train after train, after train... In LA you have to wait at least 8 - 10 minutes!
No one is actually on these trains. Take a close look the reason in LA that you wait for a train is so actual people will be on it.
I love it, so old, yet so functional.
And you can hear it from miles away :-)
2:21 lots of spark flying off of them wheels, light em up
WOWW !! Green, Pink, Purple, Brown, and Orange Lines, all going in different directions ! A most excellent video. A magnum opus !! Aarre Peltomaa p.s. Thank you so much. I really enjoyed this one.
These are the type of trains I think of when I watch Spiderman 2 for some reason.
Yes that’s probably because this is pretty much where the train fight scene was filmed.
急にオススメに出てきたんだが、、
ポイントで電車が止まることって日本では滅多にないよね

ふ
第三軌条方式なので線路脇の架線レールからパンタグラフが離れる際にアークを起こすので仕方がない事ですね。
Oh yes this is the subway system of the famous slow-train video and a stop every 50 meters. Seriously, what a mess, everything up there, most be horrible to live there.

すげぇ！
鉄道好きからすれば1度は見ておきたい光景なのでは？
It has its charms, for sure. But such an old outdated obsolete system. At grade noisy and slow crossroads.
Actually Chicago's train infrastructure (especially in the Loop) isn't so outdated like you think.
The former Major put a lot of money into the CTA to modernize it.
The system has been updated and revamped many times and actually works very well.
It actually can get quite fast once you leave downtown
@@random8149 It's still antiquated at it's core. But if it still does the job well wjy change it. It's just strage that such a huge city has such a limited rail network.
@@lars7935 what do you mean limited? It puts all other us cities to shame. Yes even NYC. I'm not from Chicago it's not like I have some strong home town bias, but the cta operates wayyyy better than every other network as far as within the city, and metra is easily the best regional rail network aside from the lirr, which is averaged out by the fact mta north and nj both suck
Nice stuff! I love CTA! You should hit up the Metra BNSF line while your out there!
I caught a few CTA trains myself
south shore line too!
2:10 Our trams leave the crosspieces at such a speed, and your metro passes such a difficult intersection!
That right there, is possibly the most amazing junction in the entire world.
交差点を直角に曲がっていく様子はいつ見ても圧巻。どんなダイヤで運行しているんだろう？
It almost looks and feels like a train set.
Spiderman 🕷
2:12 when that train hits that interlockings, it’s loud, but not louder then the one in plant city
this is one impressive system....I just love the way those trains fly around those curves.....brilliant.
What a cool intersection! Such a thing would not be possible in Germany! Greetings from Lübeck/Germany/Schleswig-Holstein
1:09 this is normal day😂😏
Crazy to think that just 20 MPH is enough to derail on this track. Glad I live in NY!
Amen i'm a New Yorker myself i live in Manhattan East Harlem on the #6 line my stations are 96th & 103rd street
What has to be understood about the trains going so slow in the loop is because of two main reasons: 1) The stations are incredibly close and 2) there are sharp turns within the loop. Once the trains leave the loop and go outside of downtown to other parts of the city, the trains go up to 55mph.
@Digimon’s Republic Xros Heart
This isn't LRT, so.......
MusicLover P RIP R142A 6 trains. The MTS destroyed part of my childhood. I am sad man
Do some research.
どうしてこんな複雑なポイントになっているんですか？アメリカではこれが普通ですか？Tell me cowboy！
I love your video, G'day from the double deck train capital of Australia. I was thinking how awesome that this junction would be with overhead catenary?
the relative cleanlness and the warm lighting on the intersection makes it look like a scale model
Don't know if your been to Chicago for trains before but welcome to Chicago! I live in the South side (sadly) of Chicago. I take the Orange, Green and Red line to Chicago Downtown a lot!
Eh at least it's not the west side!
Jokes aside reppin the north side here..
Nothing sad about living on the SouthSide 😕. You should embrace it more 🤷🏾♀️
I live on the South Side as well - I have ever since I was born (I'm 19) and even though it has it flaws, it's still where I grew up and where I call home. I agree with the previous comment that you really shouldn't feel shame for living there, especially since no part of Chicago is truly "good", including the North side.
To me, the South Side is the real Chicago. No sadness in that. BTW I'm from the North Shore.
I'm never going near these trains with those gigantic Sparks
How do people live or work in those buildings at the floor right next to those rails...Interesting....
Great video!! 凄いビデオだね！！
Chicago: "Hey, let's see how ugly we can make a city."
Bruh this looks cool
Your just too negative for being from the west
These subway cars would be more impressive if they were longer and a little wider, New York is the most impressive when it comes to subway cars, there are so many different subway cars in New York
Nope they can't, purely because of the corners they have to be so short. The NYC cars wouldn't even make the turn
they woud litearly derail on these super sharp curves if they were longer and wider
15:46 RARE 2600s on the Brown Line, I'm not from Chi-Town and I even know that lol
You from new York
Keyshawn Scott 12 yep
Ohh my god Non stop trains are running on this platform but mind blowing 😍😍😍😍
13:15 Perfectly synchronized holy crap
Wow
Как там живут люди в домах это пиздец наверное.
you should visit and see for yourself. The above ground only really goes downtown
As a kid I always loved switch tracks.. this video here is fantastic 😃
I was fascinated, too, by switch tracks as a kid. Luckily I live near downtown Chicago and get to travel through this intersection on the train quite often. I try to sit in front so I can watch the switch tracks.
Jonathan Wheat that must be soo cool.. I always wanted to visit Chicago just to ride the trains. I’m from the Bronx and luckily I get to ride NY trains daily but Chicago trains and tracking are so interesting
As a UK Railfan, Im watching this impressed.

15:59 Wow, the ONLY rehabbed 2600s teehee amazing!
Questions i have
First one: Has there have been any crashes?
Second question: How do you sleep in that city?!
Third question: are These Trains always on time?
Tsunami Gecko A few crashes but none recently, And the sound isn't that bad unless you live right next to the tracks, which most people don't. And for the most part they are on time.
1. Yes, but they're very rare. It's a very safe way to travel. Much safer than driving.
2. Most people don't live by the train line. But buildings that are right up against the track usually have much better sound proofing than an average building. I used to live right against an L track, and I'd only hear a light rumble. You just get used to it to the point that you no longer notice it. Like white noise.
3. Not always, but the trains run frequently. During rush hour they arrive about every 3 minutes. They run frequently enough to where I don't need to consult a timetable. I just go to the station and expect a train to arrive soon.
Few but not deviating, soundproofing (living next to it I should know) and tower 18 gets them where they need to be
it must be hellish to live next to this skytrain , and not very aesthetic
My apartment is right next to the L (trains), and even though it can get loud, I just love hearing the trains pass by.
Зато они на луну первыми летали.
Miss chicago CTA , still remember how i used to shift between two different lines , in a common stop at the loop.
"Hes makin' a move. Hes in the blue sedan across the street. Punch it!"
Ah the driver days.
😀 This is , so classical in the city. It brings me back to the a historical 1900's Chicago . Right out of good movie .
I don’t see how this mode of transportation is still relevant to the city and today
Why can't MTA be like CTA? I have been to Chicago and I loved the city! Greetings from the Big Apple!
MTA has got its good points. I'm from Chicago and I love the MTA; it's my favorite mode of transportation to get around

Why do subways make so much noise? Whenever I’m in New York and in the subway station, I can feel my ears getting ear raped by the subway
Old technology. Newer subway trains are quieter
Subways usually aren't that loud.
The same goes for Moscow metro.
qjtvaddict true,I live in New Taipei, and they are testing new line.
It’s not that loud as this train
@@i_am_dies Ты давно там был? В московском метро нет ничего похожего на этот ужас. Ни шума такого, ни одной надземной ветки, чистота и красота, и старых поездов нет почти. Стеклопакеты в новых составах и тишина.

Elevated tranks are much better and safe for train/metro . It's cost less in construction and maintenance . And it's fast to construct . And has more life that the underground .
It creates alot of noise polution and its pretty ugly, i rather want it to be underground, then it also makes space for trees.
nice video! i wish i can stand at this place. for me it is the most interesting place in Chicago! I like this sound :-)
