You know, me being from NYC, I can't believe I just sat here and rode a different commuter train from end to end!

Hey, your welcome. Took this trip into Chicago almost 2 weeks ago. This was because I was taking the Lincoln service to STL later that morning. It was pretty cool seeing the searchlight work at night like that. Glad you enjoyed.

@@Amtrak-4621-video-productions it certainly was cool. took me until the third or fourth set of signals to realize that they weren't blinking yellow, it was the reflection of the train lights on them haha.

A lot of questions on this! It’s a mars light. Most Metra trains have them like the cab cars and F40s. However they aren’t rlly on any other trains today. So it’s cool to go on one that does still have a mars light.

Umm woah. I didn’t realize that. Wow. That’s not good definitely trespassing. Wonder if the engineer saw? Prolly not cause he didn’t blow the horn or anything. Ig maybe he contacted bnsf.

It is a safety device. At night, the sweeping light reflecting off of the trees and buildings along the right-of-way will get a driver's attention even if the crossing lights and bells do not. And out West, there are still many crossings at grade that do not have any protection except a crossing sign without lights.

When will Chicago electrify its rail network 🤔

Idk, prolly not anytime soon. However there is these flirt trains that are like French or something that are going on the heritage corridor or sum like that. Idk tho I’m not very educated on that. But I’ve heard abt it.

Widespread electrification is very unlikely. I live near the Northeast corridor, which is electrified. It goes through towns where some of the wealthiest people in the U.S. reside. They hate the noise and traffic that commuter lines running near their neighborhoods generate. They have the wealth, legal, and political means to oppose any changes to the New York City - Boston route they dislike. Most of all, they consider the overhead wires and infrastructure as a form of visual pollution that detracts from real estate values.
