    This program contains many scenes of commuter trains operating around Chicago on this commuter line.

    If you are a fan of inter-city commuter transit, you will love this. The video does a fine job showing the rail operations and things the public can not normally see like the rail shops. Over all….. very good

    If you’re a commuter or a railfan in Chicago then you should get this video about Chicago’s busiest railroad Metra. You’ll get an inside the locomotive and car shops as well as busy tower a2, the south shore line commuter service gets in the action too.

    Well another great put together dvd. The way they describe the Metra is so great, telling how many people ride it per day–almost 300,000 per day (I should know I used to take it work everyday), also getting to see locations that are off limits to the public. Also seeing all the stations (downtown locations), and seeing the routes as well. Great Dvd for the money.

  5. KC fan

    Everything about this show is so well done, until you get to the end. the music at the end I just don’t like, and it makes it hard for me to want to watch the program.
