    1:15, back when metra and amtrak were both running f40s at the same time. These were the good ol’ days and they are long gone and are gone forever. Wish I could build myself a time machine and go back to this awesome era of the 1990’s of U.S. passenger commuter trains.

    fantastic video, and love the film shots you took- what camera was it? my dad was the head honcho at BN in this era, and he was actually the guy who made the purchase order to go with a full order of F40PHM-2 - the "winnebago" streamlined cabs, instead of an order of the square f40s like everyone else. he was also super fond of the E9s, having driven them for tens of thousands of hours. i remember this era so well being a super young kid. he took my brother and i on an E9 excursion trip as well around this time. i'll definitely tell him about your video here.

Even after it became part of Penn Central I enjoyed seeing their second generation EMD and GE diesels. And I must say that as an owner of a diesel powered truck I love the smell of diesel fuel both before and after its burned !!
