This is some really nice footage, beautiful F units, original BN locomotives, and even the original amtrak F40PH paint scheme, all though in my state they still use F40PH's (its downeaster amtrak) but they are NPCU's (non-powered control unit) and also are used for baggage.
In 1986,87 use to watch trains from steel walkways on signal towers at Naperville curve,police removed me once...best reviewing stand in Chicago suburbs 👍👍the growel of F units prime mover 🔊👍
I like seeing that classic BN logo on the METRA cars, and those mechanical bells sound much better than today's e-bells!
Those may have been made for the BN before Metra took over.
Videos like this are like looking into a time machine
It's amazing these old engines existed this late and not painted over.

Is this the place where Mary Wojtyla had her accident?
No. The Incident Took Place On 08/26/1991 In Downers Grove IL. This Is Hinsdale IL
Fairview ave/dwnrs grv
This video was a month after the railway accident of Mary T Wojtyla
I sadly remember that accident. Terrible. 9912 has a permanent mark on its headlight.
True
Also, 9912 is in a museum and has a dent in the plow
the train gamer those plows are very thick steel. There’s no way her body is what caused the “dent”.
Yeah And Also The Filmer Of The Incident Broke His/Her Leg As He Had A Dead Body Flying His/Her Way
The second train was parked at the Mary j incident
Correct!
This Is Hinsdale. Not Downers Grove
