Blue Sign on a Blue F40

METX 147, one of Metra's F40PH locomotives, sports an Operation Lifesaver wrap for the time being, promoting the visibility of the FRA-mandated blue sign at all railroad crossings; each sign contains a phone # one can call in the event of a railroad crossing-related emergency, allowing quick communication to dispatchers for the safe stoppage of trains.

 

Tonight, 147 is paired with another F40PH, the duo gliding out of a scheduled stop at the Winfield, IL station with train 69 on the UP Geneva Subdivision.
