Is UPY# 729 The Metra Paramedic Unit...?

Metra operates many commuter trains on the UPRR Chicago west Line. If a Metra locomotive or coach, breaks down, it is necessary to bring the equipment back to Chicago for repair. UPY# 729 is assigned to the job of retrieving the bad equipment. Video shows two "rescues." the first was simply the return of a single coach. the other shows an entire Metra train being pulled by that little yard dog. Watch the power sway as it does its speedy eastward legs pulling the Metra rolling stock!

Hi! Yes, it was a good afternoon for trains, and talking about trains. I hope the rest of your trip goes safely. Thank-You for visiting Elmhurst Illinois. The place that we were watching from may soon get developed and this sort of train watching might be impossible in the future!

You have better eyes than myself! Yeah, a detector for Myrtle as well as the rest of the Elmhurst crossings. They are all tied together for safety! Thank-you for viewing and commenting...!!!
