As of 2023, Chicago Metra owns and operates the largest number of surviving F40PH engines – 118. Locomotives have a powerful five-pole motor with all-wheel electrical pickup and blackened wheels. Chicago Metra version F40PH locomotives have directional head and tail lights on the front of the locomotive for push-pull operation. Locomotives are equipped with shock absorber construction for smooth and prototypical motion on the track. All locomotives are equipped with body-mounted KATO magnetic knuckle couplers, and they are also drop-in DCC compatible.
Starting in 2017, Metra began repainting certain locomotives to commemorate historic railroads or special events. In 2022, F40PH #104 was added to the roster of special Metra engines when it received a one-of-a-kind "City of Chicago" livery. The shades of blue with red stars are a direct reference to the Chicago city flag, while the skyline silhouette below the cab windows pays homage to the area that Metra is proud to serve and call home.
