I used to ride this line from Harvard to Chicago every summer I visited my grandparents and it drove me crazy how many stops there were, especially after Barrington
If the amount of stations drive you crazy, then the BNSF line is your sworn enemy. On that line, every stop is like a half mile from each other up until Downers Grove.

I remember this line. As a kid living in Des Plaines, my father took this train line from Cumberland Road back when Chicago and Northwestern Railroad. As an adult working in Cary IL, across the street from the office I worked at is the Cary Metra Station. After work early Saturday afternoon, took the train to Chicago
I used to ride this train route 5 times a week during 2000 to the loop. I'm now retired in Maui and just purchased a Kato version of this train. I was hoping to capture train announcements for my layout.
First crossing right off the bat provided the public with about 7 seconds of warning time before occupying the crossing. Exactly what rule book is this train operating off of? Think the FRA needs to pay a visit to that crossing.
Great video! Anyone know why the train passed the red block signal at 47:35? I am just guessing that is a block signal by the way it looks. Is it possible the engineer is going by cab signals and ignoring the block signal?
Going to assume some sort of issue with the signal as that's the distant signal for the Barrington interlocking. Going by the extremely reduced speed between there and clearing the plant limits and then accelerating to a more normal speed despite the closeness to the Barrington depot I'm assuming the engineer got the ok to pass the red from dispatch.
That is caused by a stupid car, or pedestrian challenging the train for time making the conductor jamb on the brakes. They don't stop for animals like deer.
When was this trip to Chicago? There is so many people waiting to get on the train.And its the afternoon when people usually coming home ,not going into the city.What day is this?...Nice video even tho it is wobbly..
It's a weekend day, when a single ticket is good for the whole weekend. (Update in 2021: ...or a single weekend day.) Overheard it from the conductor as he was collecting tickets leaving Harvard. There's also a good deal for families, so hence you hear more children's voices. Makes for a nice family trip into downtown Chicago.

Harvard, Illinois, the first station on this trip, has had a significant Hispanic population for at least 20 years. It's a weekend ride into Chicago with family-friendly fares. First-generation kids talking with their parents in the language of their parents is as ordinary is it gets.
If they're conversing with one another it's OK with me but if they're speaking to someone who doesn't know the dialect, that's when the language barrier becomes apparent and misunderstanding is a given.

I like this line because it is "out in the countryside"
Yet still a quiet zone due to there being just enough Karens who belong in Lake County existing there.

I wish they'd put the station names on screen so hearing impaired could see them. Most other train videos do this.

8:00 This train is kickin' ass, and not even bothering to take names in the process!!! What is track speed here?
It's about 70 I presume
Speed Limit on this line is 79 mph
25:23 I love how all the passengers just start waving at the engineer when he starts honking lol

I wish they would have added the names of each stop. Hard to make them out in the video :(

bellissimo video.
Not sure if someone is holding the camera or what, but when it comes off it's tripod it stops the footage jumping...(noticeable on a bigger screen )
Car has a flat wheel. Bad enough to shake the camera and make everything blurry.

It looks like 13-16 min delay
I thought this was going to be a cab ride. Not sitting in the middle families
Unfortunately we’re not allowed to ride in the actual cab! You have to sit in the Cab Car! Normally it’s not open!
That’s my metra line
Mine too

How many languages do you know?
