Is the Metra Loco an F40PH type?
And if it has a headΒ marker light why is it switched off rather than on like the lower side marker lights?
Also, do the roof mounted beacon lights serve as a warning in poor visibility?

It is an F40PHM-2 a later variant of an F40PH. Also called a "Winnebago" .It is in push mode so the red marker lights are on. The beacon and light package is always used when the loco is leading for extra visibility.

I know, the Dash 9s pulled up right in front me...then reversed...longest headroom move I can recall, the whole length of Berwyn! The poor Metra was stuck for 10 minutes at least! I shot the whole sequence.
