    1
  82. two video ideas 1. Something regarding the railroad history in chicago like the well street station, dearborn station or something involving metra (just trying to justify making a video about good ol METRA). 2. The infamous Cincinnati Subway.
    1

    1

    1
  89.  @lennychorn147  I'll look into that. I prefer the museums on museum row and science and industry because of the model train
    1
  90. I only know of the tunnel because of the new york central and grand central terminal
    1
  91. since you're doing videos about chicago, could you do a video about METRA highliners that were retired and how they played an important part in chicago?

  97.  @almenajamband9206  they were making a statement out of the guy for entering the tunnel when it's forebidden to do so.
    1
  98.  @almenajamband9206  well if the city says do not enter and you do it, you deserve it.
    1
  99.  @almenajamband9206  lmfao and like the other poster said, there probably other charges that went along with the trespassing as the video also states that too. i dont need to run for office to understand common sense. break into something the city government says not to, serve jail time sorry if you think people can just do whatever they want lol

  100.  @moustik76700  clearly Alemena didnt hear that part like we did.
    1
  101.  @almenajamband9206  please get out your feelings. it's sickening at this point.
    1
  102.  @almenajamband9206  Antoine 21 hours ago They said it was part of their sentencing, so there were other charges. It's likely the bulk of the sentencing is not for urbex but for the other charges (like iIf that person was using the tunnels for smuggling goods or drugs for example)
