With the retro look being very popular these days, hopefully it will happen. Since Progress Rail owns all the rights to anything EMD, I'm surprised they didn't. Too bad passenger power is such a niche market. I would love to see a 21st Century retro look E Unit powering a Metra commuter train on the former CB&Q racetrack.

Because it seems that no one else can so far.
