Posted by on January 10, 2019  I gotta say.....I LOVE IT!! As a former Milwaukee Road guy and a taxpayer in the state of Illinois I want to thank all the METRA people and the Madigan Family for making this great paint job possible......with any luck and taxpayer dollars our new Governor Pritzker from the great city of Chicago may well be on the band wagon to support the rebuilding of F40C's 611 and 614 that are languishing in Western Avenue Yard.......Again....METRA has shown WHY they are the power house of all the commuter agencies in the USA!! Posted by John Westfield on January 10, 2019  Great shot Rob! Thank you so much for sharing a picture of this beautiful new paint scheme. I really love how Metra is paying homage to its predecessors!
