METRA 402 "State Of Illinois", CP Morgan, Chicago, Illinois
State of Illinois. In a classic Chicago scene, Metra/METX 402 (MP36PH-3S, MPI, 1/2003) is seen passing under the former Pennsylvania Railroad signal bridge at CP Morgan near Racine Avenue on Tuesday, February 8, 2022. The engine's special paint scheme, applied at the Metra 47th Street Shop as part of its rehab process, uses the logos of Metra’s six-county service region under the words "State Of Illinois" to commemorate the collaboration of the executive and legislative branches of government to pass a capital bill to fund rail services and upgrades.
