Title:
Chicago Metra: Franklin Park & College Avenue

Description:
This is a special video of a new series called Chicago Metra. Unfortunately Five Chime Productions only gets to travel to Chicago about 1-2 times a year. This video takes place in Franklin Park and College Avenue near Chicago, Illinois. FCP captured the action of the many Metra commuter trains making station stops and many of the Union Pacific and Soo freight train run bys. There is even a special light engine move consisting of Union Pacific's Olympic Torch Relay locomotives 2001 & 2002!!! So sit back, enjoy the video and thanks for watching!
