Extreme Metra Trains in Chicago

Presented in 4K - 45 minutes of Metra train action around the Chicagoland area throughout early 2023. Metra trains are a vital link between the city and the sprawling suburbs around the greater Chicago area. With majority of their trains using classic EMD power, and vintage gallery cars, it's no wonder why Metra is one of my favorite railroads to railfan, any chance I get!

Featured are 9 different lines of the Metra system, including the unique Metra Electric District line around Downtown Chicago. All locations listed in the video.
