In Ultimate Chicago, Pentrex takes you on a whirlwind tour of what might be the greatest place in America to see railroad action at its finest. Making stops all around the Chicago area, including Northeast Illinois, Northwest Indiana and Duplainville, WI, you’ll enjoy trains and more trains, including a 1912 Heisler on Silver Creek & Stephenson and diesels from five different builders, such as EMD, NRE, GE, FM and ALCO. You’ll see action from BNSF, UP, METRA, CN, CP, IHB, IAIS, CSXT, AMTK, NS, WSOR, and a whole lot more, including survivors from EJ&E, IC&E and WC. Here’s your opportunity to see the best trains in some of the best spots anywhere!

We made stops at four railroad museums: the Hesston Steam Museum, the Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum, the Monticello Railway Museum, and the mighty Illinois Railway Museum, where we caught a variety of classic diesels in operation during their annual Diesel Days weekend. We spotted an array of motive power at railfan hotspots, such as the 18th Street overpass in downtown Chicago, Blue Island and Dolton Junction. Several historic towers create a nostalgic look to 21st Century operations and we captured many of them for your enjoyment. The CB&Q racetrack, known for its long scenic stretches of straight rail, also provided plenty of action. In Northwest Indiana, we got great shots in Wayne, La Porte, Ogden Dunes, Chesterton, Willow Creek Junction and more.

For variety and density of trains, Chicago is hard to beat and we have it all here for you in this unforgettable show. Get ready to experience the thrill of Ultimate Chicago!

    Nothing but fantastic with this video. You will see why Chicago is today still the main place for railroads. Tons of unusual surprises in this video. Watch it and find out why.

    The Ultimate Chicago… No. The Ultimate in a Tri-state region… maybe a closer name. City population 2.5 million+, metro population… over 9 million. And Pentrex had to go outside into Wisconsin & Indiana for video footage? I like seeing the railway museums, but I thought that they could have been in a video by themselves, and much more covered in the Chicago area verses what we do see. Pentrex does not appear to have it on this one. Also…. to much narration. I own the other “Ultimate” videos, and as a result I wanted this one. What a disappointment.

    THIS IS A TRAIN FANS DREAM COME TRUE. YOU GO ON A FANTASTIC TOUR OF SOME OF THE GREATEST PLACES IN NORTH AMERICA TO SEE REALLY GOOD TRAIN ACTION. YOU MAKE SEVERAL STOPS ALONG THE WAY, SEE THE CHICAGO AREA- NORTHEAST ILLINOIS, NW INDIANA AND EVEN DUPLAINVILLE, WI. SEE TRAIN AFTER TRAIN- SUCH AS THE 1912 HEISLER TRAIN. MAKE STOPS AT SOME 4 MUSEUMS AROUND ILLINOIS. ALL IN ALL A VERY GOOD FILM FOR THE REAL TRAIN FAN. 5 STARS AND 4 HOURS AND 23 MINUTES LONG.
