Relevant to this thread - I learned on r/trains on Reddit that Metra is sending a number of their locos down here to Georgia for rebuilds at the Progress Rail shops down in Patterson: https://www.reddit.com/r/train...e_on_a_freight_line/
So for any Chicago transplants to Georgia (or along the RoW back up to Chicago), keep an eye out on CSX main for a potential glimpse of some F40PHM-2 on their way down or back up as F40PHM-3s:

I don't have any Metra equipment yet, but after seeing @franktrains in action, it's on my short list!
