The cars in Joliet are white with red stripes, ex-CNW, stored at EJE yard at the bottom of the hill on Hwy 7. The mystery car in the suburbs is in Aurora I believe. Otherwise, there are some repainted to their original CNW colors with a matching F at IRM, some are at Virigina Railway Express, in DC/northern VA, some are at Nashville City Music Star Train or whatever it's called. Some are also operating in Iowa behind a RI-painted F40PH, and those are similar to (and could be) the ones from Joliet. I haven't been to Joliet for 6 months now, so they could have been gone 5 months and thirty days ago.
For those keeping score, the coaches at VRE are in three paintjobs - one is the final metra blu/red/wht, one is VRE's dark blue/silver (and looks horrible) and one is the RTA wht/red/brown.
At Nashville, some are painted Metra blu/red/wht but adapted to Nashville logos, and some are still in faded CNW paint, likely from the sixties. Where were these hiding? I thought RTA painted all these after 1981.
