That was what I was thinking. I saw it again yesterday but have still not got close enough to confirm it is F40PH-3.

As a commuter from January 1998 through end of last year I kept a record of the locomotives which hauled my trains on UP-NW. 100 - 2018 (RTA scheme) 119 - 2010-2012 120 - 2011-2012 121 - 2010-date 124 - 2004-2005, 2011-2012 125 - 2004-2005, 2007-2008, 2011-2016 126 - 2004-date 127-136 - whole period...

Do the F59's and MP36's provide enough of a pool to take the remaining 24 or so F40's that have been on the Metra operated lines and push them over to BNSF and UP? I would suspect some of the oldest F40’s will wind up being retired. Even if the oldest F40’s are retired I’d still think the F59’s wil...

Can anyone advise whether the 3 F59PHs are seeing regular use now? On my last visit to Chicago they seemed to be confined to Western Avenue and I get the impression usage is pretty sporadic.

Thanks in advance

178 is back in new livery, rebuilt as F40PH-3, on UP-NW today (#608)

174 was on UP-NW 629 on 1/26/17 in new livery.

175 was on UP lines on Friday evening

Since the latest timetable change (May 2013) every second train Saturdays and Sundays run O'Hare to UIC/Halsted during daytime. Train frequency has been increased and weekend trains run 4 car instead of 8. Monday to Fridays every second or third train during rush hours also run only to UIC/Halsted.

Does anyone have any info on the whereabouts of 148? I heard that it returned to the UP lines last year, and I saw it one day in early December 2012 pulling an outbound UP-W Line train into the Melrose Park station. Unfortunately, I haven't seen it since nor have I heard of it running on either the...

I thought I read a few years ago (probably in this forum) that some Metra conductors and trainmen would deny boarding to any passenger seen ducking under gates or running across tracks in an unsafe manner, the purpose being that passengers would eventually get the idea that there's no use running, ...
