I lived next to a metra train stop for 2 years. I have these sounds burned into my memory. I will never forget it

Every time I see a metro train I think of my dead sister r. i.p Keke Palmer 💔

I have taken the Union Pacific - West Line thousands of times... my favorite thing is when it gets cold and Metra lights the tracks on fire with natural gas so that the switches don't freeze. I love looking at the fire when arriving in the Loop.

I remember when I used to live right next to a stretch of track in Illinois. My father would come back from his job in Chicago every time and took me down to that stretch of track to watch Metra and the hi-rails. It’s always stayed in my memory and I think about it every time I think of Metra.

Used to take the Metra BNSF line to Highschool everyday, it was like an adventure. Rode the Metra this year and ended up falling in love with my boyfriend on the train ride home from Chicago.. I’ve always loved trains but the Metra has a special place in my heart

Houston Texas need a commuter railroad system similar to Chicago, I love the Metra trains when I lived in Illinois. My commute into downtown Chicago was very relaxing and it beats drive in rush hour traffic.. Thumbs up to Metra..

Metra Commuter Rail of Chicago one of my favorites, also the have the classic Amtrak F40PH locomotives as their fleets!

[nathancorcoran]

Chicago Metra is another one of the favorite passenger train systems. I love the locomotives that run at Chicago Metra.

[TrainTrackTrav]

Gotta love METRA, eh. Older engines, P5A horns, and gyra lights! Great capture.

[ohyeahyeah]

I live really close to one of the main lines (I think from Chicago to Aurora) and I grew up watching these beasts when I was little. I always love the green tint when you sit inside everything feels so old and nostalgic in a way but awesome whenever I ride these to go to Chicago.

I took Metra to work each day for two years. was great to arrive fresh while other co workers had to fight with traffic, lol. The conductor was great, knew who I was. saw him each morning, and on paydays when i took a slightly later-than-usual train home he was on that train. I'd see him and he'd say "payday today?" (i had told him why i took that train only on certain fridays). Metra staff are the best!

These are the true definitions of trains. Loud, awesome horns and rumbling locomotives.

[coleallen]

4:49 - if only all cab cars had this horn. Caltrain, the commuter rail agency in San Francisco (very similar to Metra) has the exact same locomotives and gallery cars, also with red lines on the locomotive nose and can, but Caltrain has better horns than Metra

One of my favorite videos you have made! By far my favorite commuter rail in America! Can't wait for more videos!

[JohnAckerman]

I am totally obsessed with Metra. I could sit here and tell you everything about it. I even know every stop on 10 of the 11 lines. I can even identify the locomotives.

Excellent video. Used to love riding those on "bring your kid to work day" with my dad and going past all those crossings, and hearing those great horns. Excellent captures.

[RailFoxMedia]

I remember seeing those while I still lived in the Windy City

[MichiganRailProductions]

Nice video! Metra has always been one of my favorite railroads!
