In Chicago for the WGRF, Mike Abalos (may he rest in peace) was right beside me shooting the parade, one train after the other at Western Avenue.
After nearly three decades of service, time was running out for Metra's F40C fleet in 2003.
12 F40C's dead in tow head for St. Louis.
A Metra F40C pulls through Roselle, Illinois at the beginning of a rush hour snow storm that would wind up totalling 10 inches.
One of the quickly becoming rare F40Cs rests under the lights in the holding yard at Elgin on this cool Thursday night.
