Hey! This brought up a great memory! I once rode from Chicago to Milwaukee on a run in the evening, stayed the night at a hotel in Milwaukee, then on the next day I went back to Chicago by bus. That was in the summer of 2008 during my vacation. Then I spent the night two other times, once at a motel in the Garfield Ridge neighborhood of Chicago and once at a motel in Aurora. That was a vacation I took by MYSELF! That was an experience I will never forget and one that I will never repeat in my lifetime unfortunately.

Depending on your level of claustrophobia, CUS can be a really cool departure from a murky cave or a painful one when the lateral movements beat your ribs to a pulp every time you go over a switch. I like taking the Empire Builder from St.Paul to Milwaukee. Their art museum is awesome and if you’re a railfan who likes to take pictures you can’t beat hiking around the Valley.

My hometown! Milwaukee! I love this video! Reminds me of when I was younger and rode the train all the time to visit the great city of Chicago. Too bad that Amtrak raised there fares so much. Thank you for the amazing video!

A very nice video. You did a great job filming from those Horizon Fleet coaches. I recently did a film on the Pacific Surfliner from Old Town San Diego which uses the only remaining Horizon fleet cars in California service. Keep up the great work.

I love the Hiawatha, I'm so glad it's doing so well now! Nice video!

I have taken this route so many times. This is one of the routes that I take on my way down south.
-
Nice! Like the occasional speed updates.
-
Thank you for recording the Metra. Got to hear that good ole' hum from the F40PH engines. I wished Amtrak still used them as locomotives instead of non-powered control unis.
-
lovely video thanks for the ride.
-
I'm feeling the velocity of the train.
-
doing this route there and back tomorrow can't wait

55:30, not necessarily relative to the video, but this building is the RecPlex and is one of the largest in the US. every January, I have a swim meet here for teams across the state, It has a ten lane 50 meter pool, it’s Interesting because I never knew these tracks came so close to it. Love the video, your the only one to show the ENTIRE thing! :)
