A Metra commuter train has just departed Chicago Union Station and is passing Metra EMD SW1200 No. 3 moving two newly-acquired EMD F59PHI locomotives (METX Nos. 73 and 77) on the lead to the north end of Metra’s coach yard on November 8, 2018. In the background, an Amtrak long-distance train backs out the the dark confines of CUS and is ultimately heading for Amtrak’s coach yard.
Some of the best passenger locomotives that EMD ever made (aside from the F40PH). With all Amtrak F59s gone from the Surfline, the only place that they can be seen is with Caltrans (Amtrak California).
