Railroad Crossings of Chicago's Metra

Metra is Chicago's rail transportation network serving the suburbs of the city. There are a dozen lines going in all different directions away from the city. However, only a few are owned by Metra themselves, and thus the crossings are maintained by Metra. These are the the 2 Milwaukee District lines (North and West) and the Rock Island District. This video will focus on the Rock Island District, plus show several crossings on the Southwest Service, which Metra recently sold off to NS. Although it's owned by NS now, the crossings still retain pretty much all of the Metra style equipment aside from the DOT signs, so I still count them as Metra crossings. One thing of note is Metra's heavy use of mechanical bells, primarily WCH with some Safetrans thrown in. Up until recently, it was somewhat hard to find E Bells in use on the Metra owned lines. However, starting in the spring of 2017, Metra started installing the high pitched Siemens E Bells on the Milwaukee District lines, ending the nearly complete M bell dominance on those lines. So far, none have appeared to show up on the Rock Island District, but time will tell when or if they start being replaced. Support me on Patreon:   / tommybnsf
