Who is the genius that determined to install an electronic bell on that Loco? I couldn't take it watching/listening to this video. If you couldn't find a standard Loco bell, I think everyone could have settled for a farm bell. At least that sounds real!

That was a great video! I remember riding behind EMD E and F units when I was a kid! You know all the car manufacturers make retro looking sport cars. It would sure be great if they brought out a modern passenger locomotive with that great E body, but have modern motive power and dynamic brakes underneath. Those E and F units were some of the nicest looking locomotives ever built!

I grew up in a small town in Florida in the 50's and 60's and loved watching the F units coming through town with freights and Passenger trains. However, as much as I love trains, this was like being on a train pulled by a herd of turtles.

I love to watch these runs from the drivers point of view and you also got it inside the lead unit during the actual operation. I'd love to see more videos like this. Thanks.

I tried to watch this in its entirety....but I gave up. Whoo....that bell did me in!

I would be driving this train thinking "Someone PLEASE shut off that friggin' bell!!!"

I want to thank you for providing a great video that was really nice. Always love the covered wagons

A real treat! Merry Christmas to crew making this possible

Great video! Thank you for putting the street, station, bridge and tower names.

I used to hostle those E8's at CNW's M19-A Diesel Ramp back in the 1970s-early 1980's. The E8 in this video was re-fitted with modern throttle control and 26L air brake.

I find classic locos fascinating. The cab view is great. But, while I know it isn't going to go at the speed of light, nor even break the sound barrier, it would have to get boring in rather short time when it fails to even approach the speed of smell. Imagine doing that all day, always moving so slowly that you never get past the smell of the engines exhaust. It is truly a shame that that beauty can't be out where it can run like it was designed for. And that bell...

Thank you for the video train travel, we are in a big rail road country, and this video has only shown a small portion of what a giant of the rail system we know little about. Thank you for the great RIDE.

At first I couldn’t tell what the atrocious noise was... then I realized it was the bell..

That E-bell is the most anything I have ever heard

They used to sound so good before the mufflers they now have . I remember as a a kid around 11 pm to Midnight listening to 2 interstate train, changing diesels in Albury, Australia. No bells here but lots of noise.

Milwaukee road style e-bell.

Neat, I live in Madison, WI. This is really cool to see, I’m sorry I missed it in Middleton.

Thank You for the ride. I grew up in the area and followed your route using GOOGLE Earth.

I'm noticing the goodies from Dunkin' Donuts on the Dashboard. Can someone get me a large coffee?

Wow. Loved it.

That "bell" sounds more like an in-cab failure alarm.

The bell sounds totally different outside than inside. The horn does as well.

31:57 That is not the Geneva Subdivision of the UP, it is the Milwaukee Sub. The Geneva Sub runs west thru Proviso.

That loco had some pretty good flatspots on its wheels!

Nice locomotive vary historic,classic,and beautiful but that bell...........

There's a handful of mildly interesting things I can throw out here, given that I've lived very near this area my whole life: - also in Bensenville is a 1922 Chicago Gravel Co. steam engine, along with a 1947 Milwaukee Road sleeper car, and the Milwaukee Road's last steel caboose, sitting in a park not all that far from this line - the first bridge you cross at Irving Park Rd. is probably the newest (or at least one of the newest) on the route, as it's only been open a couple years; its construction was a component of the O'Hare expansion, and went well over budget and years beyond schedule - during the O'Hare Expansion, the City of Chicago attempted to buy the Bensenville Yard, and rather quickly found out that the CP has deeper pockets and is actually more stubborn than the city all in all it's really cool to see this line I've been around my whole life from this perspective, appreciate the work as always

Great video. Loved it all with ONE exception. That electronic bell was annoying. Hated that thing.

The bell sounds like some one went and took one of those mrc sound systems and put it on it

If the auction goes right 103 will be own by The Steam Railroad Institute In Michigan

It had a wheel beating the track wow., Nice ride, how fast did it get?

I notice the west end of the Bloomingdale Trail is just past where this video ends. It's all walking path now!

MEGA SUPER HIGH SIZE CINEMATOGRAPHIC PRODUCTION!

Was wondering why they stopped so far back from the turnout? Seems like there's a waste of time having the trainman walk all that distance to throw that switch.

Was this move done with only one prime mover running? Confused on why only one ammeter was moving. At the 21:50 mark the meter was all over the place at run 8, spinning, or weird transition movement?

Correction I. The beginning you were on the UP to B17 from the Illinois terminal

Georgia Central U Boats in the promotion. That is pretty prototypical of one of the GCs as NS units. Good video, too, except for the horn

Since we weren't privileged to hear the cab conversation, loss of the cab video wasn't that bad. What was that annoying sound and why did it go on for so long? Why wasn't the video of the entire journey? Why was the locomotive traveling so slowly?>

I don't mind the wind, the "bell" is MUCH, MUCH WORSE!

You both need the support on,to the train keeps dropping, stopping, starting

At min. 32 that is the UP's Milwaukee Sub. you are going under, not the Geneva.

that M5 sound so good

Is this loco running light , or does it have railcars in tow?

You Rock on the train moving over on the subdivision sideways ,up down just have to work on my's I allowed support my Friends

What is the reason that the (God AWFUL!) bell was on for so long? It there a requirement to have the bell ringing for extended periods?

Wow that bell sucks, but what a lovely train!

That was the burglar alarm. This was the great train robbery of 2018.

Narraganset didn't seem like a "quiet zone" to Maurice! ;-)

I love the bell!! That's what all the Alaska Railroad diesels had and a few still have them today.

Great ride along!!! Thanks for posting this!!! Screw the bell!👍🇺🇸

Bello questo video. Chi è adesso il nuovo proprietario della linea?

Any issues with operating this type of locomotive in reverse as far as the engineers vision, I do notice they have mirrors.

That's the same model of engine they used in the movie silver streak isn't it ?

51:33 amazing Image

This video is almost unwatchable from that damn bell never shutting off. Had to mute the thing half way through from my ears bleeding from it. Also, the railroad over pass at the middle of Bensenville yard is the UP Milwaukee Sub, the Geneva Sub is a few mile south.

Is the bell broken and they can't turn it off? It is horrible sounding too.

I hope these kinds of locomotives will never disappear from the railroads. They are looking so iconic and awesome! But the bell sounds very harsh or unpleasant.

any locomotive that has been in recent service is required to have the bell on whenever you blow the horn, at crossings and other times too. On the new amtrak engines the horn and bell switch are apparently on the same circuit and you can't turn the bell off if you are going to signal with your horn

Yes. The local jurisdictions have all made it a law. You'll find this on all the lines in Chicagoland.

@@voidjavelin23 After I posted that comment, I did some research and turns out it's a really old e-bell before the modern e-bell we know today.

Ow I forgot to mention. In Holland (The Netherlands) we don't have " Quiet " zones. Usually in Holland the engineer doesn't use the horn at all (except when the train driver / engineer feels like it, but not excessively.) and we don't have any bells on any train. The horn only gets used if the situation calls for it, like an accident or for railroadworkers or if the weather is really bad (fog).

It's probably required practice to do so at grade crossings, rather than rely on the judgement of the engineer if someone is close enough to warrant the warning. It should just be done, regardless.

noisy job! imagine having a really bad heavy full on headache while driving this train. Ring ring, hoot hoot, honk honk in your ears all day. that would be a torture machine for me to someone who lives a in a very peaceful area with no cars or trains for miles but still a nice looking classic loco.

What's with the loud warning alarm blasting all the time , it is a trip killer ,hard on the ears !!
