Weekday rush hour Metra express trains on the BNSF Line, in early 2025. I was in Chicago earlier this year, and took the Metra from downtown to Berwyn, for some late-afternoon Metra rush hour train action. Some impressive trains running track speed down the appropriately nicknamed "racetrack!" Plentiful train action in this video, with 26 trains in just 18 minutes!

All train info listed in video.
