411

411 is sitting coupled to the front of 611 and 614 at Western Ave. I saw it last night and again this morning. For a fleeting second the thought crossed my mind "Oh good, they're retireing them" :-D . Then reality set in. Oh well, it was fun for a moment.

411's off to MILW. I'm still not sure why 611 and 614 are still sitting there. If they don't run the work trains, I'm just going to have to head down to Western and photograph them there.

Are 611 and 614 going to run the work trains?

I don't know, but yesterday evening someone was sitting in the cab of 611 on the fireman's side.
