Don't forget that Metra also has a few F40C's that are basically a SD40-2 with a cowl over it.
There were only (15) F40C's and only 611 and 614 remain on the Metra roster today but both have been stored out of service for a few years now. The other (13) F40C's were sold off and later scrapped. So it's not a "few" but a 'couple' F40C's still in existence today.

But Metra did have plans to rebuild them...that fell thru and now they're stored but still may be rebuilt.

From the Metra website...

"While there is a possibility that the F40Cs may finally see their day in the shop at the tail end of the MP36 rehabilitation project, there are currently no active plans for their restoration. Until then, they will remain at the Western Avenue railyard."

My dictionary defines Few as 1, 2, 3 or a handful. crazy
