At 07:25 on outbound train 2205 we spotted both C's. I'm guessing you got downtown after that point?

AMTK84, are you saying you spotted both F40C's running on #2205, or you saw both of them in the yard while riding #2205?

Yes, I took the 8:36AM train, 2228. Both F40C's were running yesterday?

Well guys,

I've always said that having a screen reading program for the computer is effective but things don't always come out rite. I rode train 2205 out, equipment was METX425, CC, 8540, C, 8239, 8543. (C = coach) 614 and 611 were in the normal place acording to my companion.

Guys,

I indeed stand corrected. My source at Metra checked the logs in the engine, and found that it ran in a mock accident a cupple of weeks ago Saturday or Sunday, he wasn't sure which.
