Back into Chicago Union Station on the platform of the New York Central 3.
Enjoy the double slip switches, creaks, groans, and flange sequels as the historic 100 ton heavyweight private passenger car, New York Central 3, is backed into Chicago Union Station on the rear of the eastbound Lake Shore Limited.
Amtrak's train #48, the Lake Shore Limited, is always backed into Chicago Union Station from the nearby Amtrak Chicago Yard. There are no Amtrak passengers on the train at this point and the only way to have this view is be on a private car.

Nice backup. The train stopped a little bit too far from the wall of the platform area. If they get an observation car at the back of the train, it would be much nicer so the westbound train can stop at Metra's Halsted St. Station to backup because the engines are still loud even though Amtrak is still ordering some new Siemens ALC-42 chargers. The Genesis P42 engines will still be on sale in N and HO scales.

They had to stop to keep the crossing clear. After the camera is stopped baggage carts and employees come and go from the tunnel to the left and over the crossing.

I have an old Amtrak employee timetable and there's instructions about this, normally they go almost right up to the bumper but there's a couple tracks on both sides that have crossings that trains can't block. Cool video BTW
