Sweet Ear Candy! CRANK IT UP NOTCH 8 FANS! 5/17/14

This footage was filmed on Saturday May 17th, 2014

While waiting for a #303 Pace bus to head home from the Melrose Park Metra station, a mixed freight led by a UP SD70ACe, a Dash 8, and another SD70ACe came to a stop along Track 1 at the station and stayed there for nearly 30 minutes while awaiting signal clearings. This provided me with the rare opportunity to get up close and personal with freight engines running in Notch 8, and oh my, what a dandy it was!

I stood on the platform and filmed over 15 minutes of those beautiful, heavenly sounds crooned by the engines of UP #8789, UP #9551, and UP #8556.

The video begins with a westbound intermodal led by UP #7888 meeting 8789 and company. The next train seen is UP West Line Metra train #514, pushed by METX #162. Now, this would've been THE perfect video if only a woman did not ask me a question regarding people crossing the tracks since this train blocked the crossing. I don't mind being asked questions, but I would rather not have anyone come up to me and ask me any questions when I'm filming these beautiful sounds!
