Fire Up the 614!

            Metra EMD F40C 614 was passing some MOW equipment at B12 Interlocking in Franklin Park on Independence Day 1999.

The final F40C in the 13 strong fleet, the 614 (and the 611) are the sole survivors and sit in storage at Metra's Western Avenue shop in Chicago, slowly being picked apart to keep other EMDs running.

It would be cool to get this thing up and running again.

Taken in: United States / Illinois / Leyden Township / Franklin Park (show map)
