Knowing that Chicago's commuter rail agency, Metra, would be retiring its F40C locomotives soon, I shot some video of them at my local station (Deerfield, IL, MP 24.1) on the Milwaukee District North line.

Disclaimers
1. These were my first attempts at shooting video—on the same day my camera was delivered, in fact—and the shots and editing are quite amateurish. (Someday I'll find time to re-do the editing, at least.)
2. The still photos were captured from video and are of low resolution.
