This video, shot through the front door/window of Nippon Sharyo Highliner II cab car unit 1276 in Metra service, shows the entire northbound trip of Metra Electric Train 338 in real time. This train ride originated from South Chicago 93rd street station and terminated at Millennium Station Station in downtown Chicago.
Special thanks goes out to the friendly Metra crew.
Please excuse the fact that this video was recorded during the evening in April. The view towards the front of the train during certain portions of the trip was rather dark and at times my camera struggled to focus as a result.
Circa April 2023. This video was recorded in 4K UHD.
