Amtrak in Chicago

[dmclement]

Could someone tell me if there are any Amtrak services into or out of Chicago which are not hauled by P42 Genesis locos on a regular basis?

I think there are some services that use P-40's (800-series engines), or even the old "Pepsi Can" P-32 Dash 8's (500-series) for shorter haul routes serving Chicago. I've seen them there, but I am not sure to what route they were assigned.

The Hiawatha trains have the ex-F-40's that have been converted into cab-baggage. Other wise I think Amtrak is prmiarily running P-40's and P-42's.

Not only the Hiawatha's, but also the Chicago-Detroit-Pontiac trains. But then, the question was what is hauling the trains -- the cab-baggage (or cabbage) depowered F-40's are in the rear, but they run in front of the train when in "push mode", thus the engine on the other end is still doing the work.
