Hi there railfans.
Todays video is shot at the Metro Glen Ellyn Station which is part of the Union Pacific West system.
So the trains you will see are Metro and UP freighters.
I selected just a few Metro trains since they all are mostly identical to each other.
The one thing to notice is on METX 31, you will see an old Ex C&NM Pullman coach in the Silver Blue and Orange colors. These coaches are from the late 60's to early 70's.
The three Metra engines are all EMD F40PH-3's but in two different colors.
The first UP trains has some nice auto racks and is pulled by one GE C44ACM, #7146.
The next one is a bit more impressive with six engingines in the front with two EMD engines in the mix.
#6943 GE C44ACM
#3064 EMD SD70AH
#5495 GE C45ACCTE
#6640 GE C44ACCTE
#5436 GE C45ACCTE
#4724 EMD SD70M
And to finish up with a bang, a delivery train for Via Rail Canada with two new SCV-42 Chargers, #2316 & 2216, being pulled by an UP GE C45ACCTE, #7839.
If you would like to know what the equivalent numbers are for the UP designated engines I would suggest a site like The Dieselshop.

Have an awesome rest of your day.
