About the Chicago RTA F40PH

Second only to Amtrak's now-retired fleet, Chicago's Regional Transportation Authority (now known as Metra), owns the largest number of F40PH locomotives. Replacing aged E and F units, these light blue locomotives could be seen pulling Chicago & North Western Bi-Level commuter cars for several years as the passenger car fleet was gradually repainted in RTA colors.
