READ:
Back in February 2019, Metra announced it would be purchasing 15 rebuilt SD70MAC freight locomotives, repurposed for their commuter operations with the addition of HEP and an upgraded, EPA Tier III compliant 710 prime mover. Now, 5 years later, the majority of the base order of 15 locomotives is on property and in service. Join me as I wander around the Milwaukee District lines to catch these 6-axle, 4-motor, 4,500 horsepower beasts doing what they do best: moving heavy passenger tonnage to and from Chicago Union Station. Enjoy =)
