Some of those F59PHI's came from the Amtrak Cascades; the Eugene, Oregon to Vancouver, British Columbia line, and were shuttled to Chicago by the Empire Builder. The Cascades now have new Siemens units.

Like the new paint scheme. Any idea which line they will be assigned to?

Sport!: Trains Magazine reports that “Metra is scheduled to being training their operating crews on the new locomotives in December. Due to the lack of cab signals on the F59PHI fleet, they will be based at Metra’s Western Avenue shops and work the Milwaukee, North Central and Heritage routes which do not require cab signal equipped locomotives.”

I'm in tears (not really). Well, at least they won't be scrapped. Nice shot Mike.
