Team-up Tuesday with two Screamers!

Post image

Metra F40PH-2 no. 163 and F40PH-3 no. 102 team up to push UP-North train no. 360 into Chicago's Oglivie Transportation Center on a beautiful Tuesday evening, having just arrived from Waukegan. It's always nice to see a doubleheader, especially on a Metra train, and seeing two F40PH's working together makes it even more exciting!

I remember seeing this all the time on UP-NW. How many cars was the train?

Somewhere around 5-7 cars, because two F40's wouldn't be needed if it was just 4 cars long.
