The MP36PH is a diesel locomotive built in 2003 by MotivePower, Inc. (MPI) to tow commuter trains
in the U.S. and Canada.
For Chicago Metra, these MP36PH locomotives are routinely seen with doubledecker Gallery Bi-Level cars in push-pull operation.
In the Chicagoland area, they transport around 300,000 people each day!
Starting in 2020, the entire roof of the locomotive was painted black to make
soot stains on the roof less noticeable.
These locomotives are perfect to double head with other Chicago
Metra locomotives such as the MP36PH with regular paint or the F40PH! The new road numbers will be
#403 & #424
