They look good for their age with that spiffy paint scheme. I saw this one new at EMD in 1979 ...

new Metra F40 at EMD 1979-

That's the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA)  paint scheme, which predates Metra.  Metra was formed in 1985 and the carrot top F40's has been the paint scheme since.

Guess after 30 years they're finally due for an update.  Never did care much for the carrot top scheme.
