Anyone know if the new locomotives entered revenue service yet? I heard that they were supposed to run trains on the two Milwaukee District lines. I would really like to head out and catch em one day or ride in the coach behind one.

It's not ugly but it sure isn't timeless because it's busy - there's so much going on between black mask, safety stripes on the nose, white roof (seriously? don't they usually paint roofs dark to hide soot?) the random orange/maroon stripes (did we steal those from the South Shore?) and and traditional Metra white/blue but with a hefty fade. It was kinda fun on the MP's as it fit the body, but put it on a different body and you've got scrambled eggs.
If they're still painting F40's solid blue/red, why can't we do this on the F59's?
And why is it that every Metra locomotive has to have a big logo and a small logo? Is the small logo for people standing very close or wearing high-power glasses?
