Everyone: Does METRA still have that one F40 in the RTA color scheme?
Are any bilevels-other then the RTA logo-still letterboarded for the RTA?

I liked the RTA color scheme for the F40s but the painted bilevels had that so-so at best color scheme-METRA's colors looked far better on them. MACTRAXX

The last unit painted light blue was back about 17 years ago.

As late as 1999, I remember seeing one car still sporting the Regional Transportation Authority letterboard, former CNW bilevel 7726 (since retired). Metra finally sometime decided to update the logo later that year. I believe that was the last car that displayed the RTA logo.
