CTA Skokie Swift under the wires - March 29-30 2004
Просмотров 345День назад
CTA's Yellow Line, the Skokie Swift uses the tracks of the old North Shore Line and until late 2004 the trains used overhead catenary rather than 3rd rail for much of the route. I spent a couple of days on this trip documenting this bit of historic infrastructure. First up was the north end of the line, the Dempster St terminal in Skokie IL. The original NSL station has been moved slightly and ...

Why is Addison different on here
The original Addison station was built before Wrigley Field was there, so it was just a small neighborhood stop. Various changes were made over the years to deal with the large baseball crowds, but they finally just completely rebuilt the station in 1994.
@@dlcluley to concrete viaduct instead the wooden platform
All these stations are non-rebuilt
Nice catches dude.
Great memories!!! I see Racine was still open. Not surprised that Harvard and Wentworth were closed. When the Lake/Dan Ryan (Red line) opened in 1969, it siphoned riders from 63rd between Ashland and Wentworth. According to the CTA, they did not mean for this to happen. Great to see 58th before it was demolished...
The Drake line was abandoned in 1999 but some of the tracks still exist in 2024 like over the Ft Couch rd bridge to Bethel Church rd. Swear I saw a bottom red light on the tracks on Ft Couch Rd looking right before the GetGo. In RR terms this means stop. If anyone is still around to remember this area pls check it out!
Nice keep going you're almost finish
Great catch of the Metra electric trains Dan, keep it up.
miss this
1:36 R.I.P Wig Wag Railroad Crossing
1:36 Awesome Railroad Crossing Bell!
I do think it’s strange that the cta kept the wires up from the North Shore Line… I wonder if it was more cost effective than installing third rail in 1964
If I remember correctly, the Skokie Swift started as sort of an experiment, so I suspect there was the absolute minimum spent to get started. Also, parts of the purple line in Evanston & Wilmette still used overhead wire into the '70s, so it wasn't unfamiliar technology.
@@dlcluley it was set up with the USDOT and the CTA to show off potential for other cities in the post highway era. I do find it surprising though that the infrastructure was maintained post-abandonment in 1963. Most of the interurbans vanished quickly
Thank you so much for this footage!
Being that I'm not used to seeing anything like this, the L trains look so cursed with pantographs. I grew up on the South Side where it's all 3rd rail, so I never saw this.
The removal of the wires was quite sad honestly, it felt like the North Shore was still there when the wires were in place.
I agree, but am glad to see that they did not remove the lattice work supports
welcome to 20 years ago
wait so when CTA remove head wires for the Yellow Line? Okay so let me guess On March 29 it was the last the CTA uses Over-head wires and the next day CTA Remove the head-hires to third rail power?
@@nellyrichardsin1590 The wires stayed in service for a while after I was there, but were removed sometime later in 2004. It was always 3rd rail from Evanston to around Crawford Ave in Skokie. In a couple of the shots you can see the pantographs raising at the switch over point. The CTA used the wire from Crawford to Dempster, and before 1963, when the North Shore Line ran, they used the overhead wires all the way to Milwaukee.
@@dlcluley The block between East Prairie and Crawford in Skokie was equipped with both third rail and overhead catenary. That was the changeover point for both the North Shore Line and the CTA.
Wait a minute Southwest Chief didn't go through BNSF Chicago Sub during 1991?
@@nellyrichardsin1590 Nope, it ran on the original Santa Fe tracks until 1996. After the Santa Fe & BN merger they built the connector track at Galesburg and changed 3 & 4 to the BN route between Chicago & Galesburg
Awesome Catch
The first apprence on this channel of those Nippon Sharyo cab cars, that's Metra 425 before it was painted 9:12
I know you put alot of time on this . I'm not into Metra trains . How come No cta trains ? You have the south shore line . My favorite is the old Milwaukee road switcher painted black but still has that dirty Orange on the front .
Every trip was a little different, so you never know what to expect, but next week's video is actually all CTA on the Skokie Swift.
Great video. Yes really good. Thank you!!!
Thanks for posting and thank you for recording this Footage - 20 years ago.
Wow to see Soo still so prevalent in 2004 was awesome. Especially the switcher and caboose/shoving platform
Awesome Catch
Keep those Chicago train catches coming Dan these are amazing.
Also, that was until Jeff was caught
That’s the Adrian and blissfield railroad
It operates on the Jackson to Lansing route.
That’s not the Jackson and Lansing railroad
Yes it is
Adrian and Blissfield operates it.
Did that train retired
Yep they been retired because F40PHM took over
Good video
Happy June 30th, haha. I look for footage from the day of often
Thanks Dan. 'Only' 20 years ago and there were still all those old company Liveries and Conrail too.
Thanks as always, Dan.
Budd cab cars ended in 2005
5:21 I see a Nippon Sharyo Cab Car
I always wanted my children to experience this lifestyle. I wanted my children to know me this way.
Yes! Oh, Yes! Yes! Yes! I’ve been riding L trains in my early teens.
Thank you, Dan!
Nice to watch, thank you. I like to see the Trains passing thru the Townships as well as the Countryside.
Back in the 90 I lived in a little house right at Vickers crossing. Corner of Drouillard Rd and Wales. I could sit in the living room and watch the railfans filming on the Wales Rd crossing where much of this footage was taken.
That railroad has come a long way in recent years. Steady traffic now and newer power units. Awesome to see...
Do they plan on saving the geep 9 units (mainly the 1752?)
Awesome Catches Dan!
Awesome Catches
Hi Dan, anymore trains of Chicago videos on the way?
Yes, I made a couple of trips to Chicago in 2004 and those will be posted in a few weeks. Thanks for watching
@@dlcluley cool, looking forward to it.
2:38 NKP #765 Nathan 6 chime.
Didn't know the IC SW14s lasted that long! I thought they were all scrapped around 1995 but guess I was wrong. Great catches. Always a treat to see long gone railroads and equipment. Fallen flags are now all in our memories and photos.
in 2003 these were the last runs of Metras F40Cs because of successor of MP36PH
And the Metra's Highliner cars were still looking good in the Illinois Central paint scheme, just 3 years before they retired.
Great catch of the Metra Electric Highliners Dan, especially the ones in the Illinois Central Paint Scheme, keep it up.
