Exploring the Metra SouthWest Service
Рет қаралды 1,336
6 ай бұрынThe Metra SouthWest Service provides weekday service between Chicago Union Station and Orland Park, with flag stops towards Manhattan on select trips - using some of Metra's most polluting F40PH locomotives due to its low ridership. Enjoy the railfanning action of the SouthWest Service trains at various locations!

Very underrated line. Mostly mechanical and still a few horns even with the Manhattan-new Lenox horns silenced

Indeed it is, it's interesting in terms of the scenery and layout of the stations but equipment wise it's just F40PHs (oh, and no heritage units). Having the disappointment that there's not much content of the Metra SouthWest Service line on KZfaq, I went out of my way for this.

The Southwest Service is a another story metra route but the SWS has weird stations
@Jackyliu009 6 ай бұрын
Indeed, look at Ashburn for example, each platform in each direction are split by two different grade crossings

At the Bartlett Station on the MD-W, the platforms also split after a crossing. NCS station O’Hare Transfer has a similar vein to it.

Ah yes, Manhattan, my hometown. The single most boring town in Illinois.
