Good one, I hadn't thought of that.

Perhaps since they are "taking the plunge", they'll try something new to them and go with the separate HEP motor/alternator. I'd guess whatever they do with 611/614, they'll do with the boomboxes.

To stay on topic, 614 was on 2220 this morning (10/25/2011).

611 was on 2242 last evening (10/27/2011).

I saw one of them on 2203 this morning. I don't know if that's the same equipment as the previous day's 2242 (2242 turns to 2239, 2250, 2251, 2256, and 2257. 2203 is a turn from 2202).

614 did the honors on last night's 2237 and this morning's 2216. That's the 10-car set that runs non-stop Western to Schaumburg westbound and almost the same (adds Franklin Park) eastbound.

I saw it on 2242 as it went by last evening.

611 must be on the north line, it was in CUS this morning on track 9 with its train. Nothing much got in on the west line.

Had one of them on 2227 Monday (11/7/2011). It was too dark to make out which one.

Looks like 611 was on 2129 last night (11/10/2011).

614 also went North last night on 2139.

614 was getting some weekend work pulling 2715 today when I picked my son up off that train.
