Tom Beckett	General	This was about the time the F 40's were being delivered, and were replacing the enerable(aging!!) fleet of E's-even an E 6!!-and FP7's, and perhaps a few RS 3's on the trains to Blue Island and Joliet. I'm sure the commuters appreciated the improved reliability compared to Rock's rolling museum pieces, but you could not beat their fleet from a railfan's perspective.	10/9/2022 4:13:48 AM
