Metra Evening Rush at North Canal St, Chicago, plus Amtrak, 02.03.12 

Yea I came here 2 or 3 years ago and all this empty space now covered by a tunnel like thing!

@@999-98 since 2014 they covered the tunnel before that year it was nothing

What store was it

@@MetraEverythingProductions The Jewel-Osco, I used to work there.

I think it's because they need space in the station.

MrBnsftrain 611 and 614 are the only two not retired

He also saw a 40phm-2 at canal street!?

Since the Union pacific railroad owns the tracks to OTC, they run UP Switchers on the line about every day.

Jordan Wilkison , it is a perfect place, but there are no hotel's near the tracks

Those trains aren't inbound trains. They are trains for the heritage corridor route. I guess Metra stores those train sets in the yard with the trains for the milwaukee district routes.

I have notice that too

These inbound train are Herritage Corridor trains. They arrive from Joliet early in the morning, then head out through Union Station and Canal St to rest in the yard at Western Ave, then come back in the eve, like we see in this video

@@rapperguy98 they come from Western avenue and they head to union station to operate on the BNSF or HC lines.

Indeed, now there is that giant tunnel there.

***** #99 is a P42, not a P40. All of the P40s are in the 800 series, while the P42s are numbered from 1-207.

The first model of Genesis locomotive.

+Joe Dohn P40s are exactly the same as P42s, just with 200 less horsepower.

They are tinted

oct197 yes, but why are they green? As opposed to clear

@@fluffnose3386 I believe the clear windows are the newer rehabbed cars

They weren't from The South Shore Line those go from The Millennium Randolph Street Station and that's to the east of these tracks that go into Union Station. The Tracks on the upper level go into The Northwestern Station AKA Ogilvie Transportation Center. That station is used by The Union Pacific North Line which goes up to Kenosha Wisconsin and most of the trains end in Waukegan. It's also served by Union Pacific Northwest Line which goes up to Harvard and McHenry on Rush Hour during Weekdays. And lastly The Union Pacific West Line goes west to Elburn. The one you are thinking of is below grade station where The Metra Electric which goes down to University Park and 93rd Street and South Chicago and Blue Island and The South Shore Line also serves The Millennium Randolph Street Station.

THANKS

lailasalas is north canal street a quiet zone

It doesn’t, it has a mechanical bell

Because he departs from the other side of Union Station

There’s normally not much crime down here at Canal St but I was here once and these 2 homeless people walking past me and my dad with are cameras set up and they were smoking but it isn’t that bad the 3 times I have been down here (No crime the 3 times i have been here.

the area is pretty safe, there are a few homeless people there but besides that it's a decent area

The engines are F40PH’s red and blue and MP36PH orange and blue. The F40’s have been around since the 80’s and are aging out. The MP36’s have been around since 2003. There are more F40’s than MP36’s. F40PH 100-184 215 216 F40PHM-2 185-214. MP36PH 401-427. Nowadays Metra also has some F59PH’s 97-99 and all of Amtrak’s original Surfliner engines. All of Metras F40PHM-2’s have been rebuilt and repainted and some F40PH’s. Metra is also going to purchase 500 new rail cars with two doors on each side. They are exactly like Metrolink, Coaster, MBTA, Caltrain. The cars will be delivered in 2025.

Rush hour gets train packed

Cause it is a quiet zone

Metra Wat Evar

That's the Metra/Union Pacific tracks not Amtrak, moron

@@iliketrains839 no u, also, kinda a lil late huh?

Um, what are you talking about?

There quiet zones because there’s apartments next to Canal St or around it and engineers that come into OTC or out same with Canal set can only blow then if someone’s walking or a reason needed
