The
F40PHM-2 have been a staple hauling commuters in the Windy
City for the past 30 years. Nicknamed
Winnebagos for their similar appearance to the
RV, these were the last 30 F40PH variants that Metra ordered
new,
in 1991. Towards the end of 2016, the F40PHM-2s were sent
out to Progress Rail for rebuilding and application of
the new faded scheme introduced in the early 2000s. These
would be reclassified as F40PHM-3. One F40PHM-3
received a special CB&Q-inspired heritage scheme in 2019,
which we are proud to have on the first run!
