Metra & Canadian Pacific Trains (Illinois) 2020

Some footage I shot in River Grove, Illinois (September 2020).

[@GamingRailfanner]

The Fact That Metra Repainted The F59PHI's In A Near Similar Paint Scheme As They Had On The Surfliner Is Very Wholesome For Metra

[@JKJTransit]

Facts!

[@MetraEmdF40PH]

They did it like that because it was cheaper then painting in a different scheme

[@drakejames7630]

1:00 does anyone know the horn sounds like a surfliner cab car

[@F59PHI451Productions]

@@drakejames7630that sounds more like 6901.

[@tylermcintyre1454]

Tyler Mac yes they do

[@majesticpickle2221]

brought me back to the old surfliner days

[@majesticpickle2221]

Ketchup Juice If you didn’t already know, a couple years back the f59phi locomotives were sold to metra by Amtrak California. They used to run of the Pacific Surfliner from Los Angeles to San Diego. These f59s were my childhood. Waiting at the station for the headlights to come around the bend with my old camcorder out was the best feeling of all. I sure do miss them but I believe their new home isn’t to bad.

[@GamingRailfanner]

Their home is just cold now

[@drakejames7630]

@ 2:34 amazing horn on former Amtrak 450 (Metra 73)

[@drakejames7630]

0:01 amazing horn on former Amtrak 457 (Metra 80)

[@Railviation]

Nice catches mate! man it feels like 5 years without them F59PHIs in SoCal. really miss them

[@tyhik9338]

I think they miss you too

[@CrazyDash9]

Same here. And soon were losing all f40ph’s as coaster is replacing theirs with chargers and Caltrain removing theirs for electric trains

[@IllinoisTrainsandElevators]

Fun fact: Metra 217 is former Amtrak F40PH 364, that was sold to the Virginia Railway Express renumbered V32, was then sold to Metra in 2017 after VRE retired their F40PH-2s, rebuilt to a PH-3, and bears Metra's Thunderbolt Paint Scheme

[@MegaSquadVincent]

Wow, I did not know that

[@willberestartingthischanne9984]

Awesome Video

[@MetxsightseerRailfan]

Back in Chicago?

[@CrazyDash9]

I think lots of us can agree no horn zones suck. So this is a nice refresher seeing areas that metras can blow their horns.

[@Adam_Gunia]

Ah River Grove, I know that place well. My house is a 10 minute walk from there, just inside the Chicago boundary. I'd walk to that station a few times a week and record everything I could. I got videos and pics of the old F40Cs, a Milwaukee Road geep, plenty of old Soo Line locos, and more. Now a days I go down to Bensenville yards.
