Passenger Trains > Sunny Day Hiawatha

While I’ve seen Metra’s latest heritage locomotive a number of times since it’s inaugural run, I’ve been limited to seeing it in the confines of Chicago Union Station since then. Yesterday was a bright, sunny day, if a bit chilly, so I took a quick walk  over to Clinton Street at lunch. I missed a shot of one of the new-to-Metra F59PHI’s on an outbound train thanks to an inbound. Metra Milwaukee North train 2117 arrived pulled by Metra 415. I was about to head back to the office when the crossing signals activated. I was rewarded with Metra 405 pulling a non-revenue move to the yard at Western Avenue.

When did Metra remove the 40th anniversary RTA color wrap off the #100?    

I last saw it in the wrap on 5/30/18. When I saw it next on 6/8/2018, the wrap had been removed.

Perfectly lit. I caught it near their the other day... but was on the other side, so that was useless.
