I heard this locomotive but had to climb around to see where the rumble was coming from. This was the only sign of freight trains amongst all the commuters.

METX 115
Description:
Very similar to Toronto's GO Transit transition from the EMD F59PH to the streamlined MPI MP40PH-3C, Chicago's Metra is moving to the MPI MP36PH-3S from the familiar EMD F40PH. On the tracks above this F40PH run other Metra commuters, as well as Union Pacific trains.
