SD70MACH Takeover

Last year when I came up to Chicago for the first time, the SD70MACHs had just entered revenue service and were being broken in on a handful of trains. A year later and they have now become a dominant force on the Milwaukee District lines north out of Chicago Union Station, leading almost all of their trains. I still am a huge fan of these units, and it was still such an odd but cool choice as their next generation of motive power. In this shot, MD-W Train #2711 blasts out of downtown Chicago with SD70MACH #505 leading (3/8/25).
