    Aah the sweet sounds of the SD70 complete with the best train horns available. Gevo horns are annoying now, sad we don't have anymore Nathan M5s or Leslie RS5ts on normal freight engines as standard. They sound even better.

    I don’t care how everybody’s saying how much they love the sd70’s, I much rather prefer the f40ph. They are awesome locomotives in my opinion. And since metra rebuilt them by progress rail in patterson, georgia, their new paint scheme is eye catching and looking awesome these days. Metra is also the commuter agency that has been operating the f40 for the longest time having some of their units in service since 1977, which means they’re a whopping 47 years old. 😮

    3:23 this is what every Metra station out in suburban towns look like during the evening rush - trains dumping large loads of people onto the platforms and the surrounding streets. Some walk away from the train right away to head to their cars or homes while others will congregate right beside the train and cross the tracks as soon as the last car of the train has passed.

      They only had another locomotive during the initial weeks of running in case of failure. They have since proven themselves and are now mostly on their own.
