Each day, tens of thousands of riders travel on nearly a dozen rail lines in between Chicago and its suburbs. In this video, we'll see just a small sampling of Metra trains on a few of the lines as they run to and from Chicago. All aboard! | Coasterfan2105 | Facebook

LaGrange, Illinois is certainly a hot spot for Metra commuter train activity and other passenger train action. A BNSF freight may also be seen, but not in this clip from the Highball Productions show "Homewood & La Grange Hot Spots 35" https://rfd.video/HotSpots35 | Railfan Depot

Where the F40 still prowls the rails. A Metra train pulls into LaGrange Road station with METX 112 in the lead. 112 is an F40PH-3, built in 1977 by EMD. F40s were once one of the most popular passenger locomotives in the US, featured on Amtrak trains and commuter trains across the nation. They are becoming increasingly rare as they are displaced by newer power. I’m glad I got to see one on my trip out to the Chicago area last week. #metra #passengertrain #commutertrain #transit | Rail Brothers
