GO Transit MP unit in Chicago
Posted by eolafan on Wednesday, April 2, 2008 9:33 AM
Last evening while entering highway I55 at Central Avenue in Chicago while driving home from Midway airport, I noticed a train waiting at a signal eastbound into Chicago from the West...this is the old GM&O line that also hosts Amtrak.  Well, the train had a BNSF pumpkin GE on the point and a leased unit as #2 and a GO Transit of Canada MP commuter unit as the #3 unit in the engine consist. I have no way of knowing if the GO unit was running or not but found it interesting to see such a unit at that spot.
