Here is Metra train # 2227 which is due by tower B17 at 450 PM and makes all the stops on this run it appears to be all ex Milwaukee Road equipment pulled by a F40C !
Wow this is sweet! Classic cowl body. The horn sounds like a Nathan P5. Very nice. When was this filmed? If I'm not mistaken, Metra retired all of the F40Cs (unfortunately).
Excellent!

Allen, that is cool news! I hope that they will be around for a while. Hopefully at least one will be preserved and not wind up in the scrapper.

Two of them are still in use. 614 & 611. They are used regularly on this line. Some of the other ones still work they are just not used that often.
