Скачать или смотреть Trains at Metra Electric's 55th-56th-57th St Station, Chicago, IL 5/9/17

While in Chicago for a few days recently, I had a chance to ride the Metra Electric from Millennium Station to 55th-56th-57th Street, close to the Museum of Science and Industry, where I was heading. On the platform going to the museum and waiting to head back, I took some video of the trains I saw arriving and departing. We'll see several Metra Electric trains, plus an eastbound South Shore Line train, which shares the Metra Electric tracks for a ways.

This line was originally operated by Illinois Central until being taken over by Metra in the 1980's. Until recently, Metra was still running the former IC "Highliner" cars here. Today, new Highliners built by Nippon-Sharyo are used. These cars are also slowly being acquired by South Shore, but most of their trains are still the single-level EMU's, also built by Nippon-Sharyo in the 1980's and 90's, which you'll see in this video.
