Trains News Wire EXCLUSIVE: Metra acquires three F59PH locomotives from Canada

Wow, same with the MP’s, and PMS2’s its hard to see anything other than F40ph on Metra. I would like to think the Metra blue & orange fit well with these “new” locos. I dont think the MP’s paint scheme will fit these units. Maybe Metra will surprise us and give them a totally different paint scheme.

If the 710-12 is to Metra’s liking how about an ECO rebuild program for the F40s?

The F40PH’s are being cycled through a rebuild program at Progress Rail that is similar to the ECO rebuilds.
