(above live video goes away on the 30th)
Other than seeing the normal Metra and Amtrak trains, one gets to see the Y moves of regional and LD trains. But why do you see Amtrak back up and pull forward, only to see the consist back up again in view and pull forward again?
And what's the speed on that turn to CHI? The Amtrak trains taking the Skyline are zipping along going backwards into and from the station.
Why back up so far from the switch to Y the train?
Thank you in advance to those who know the answers.
