   Sure looks like it. 622 was sitting in CUS on Saturday, and looked gone by   
   Sunday. Meanwhile Chicago commuters suffer from diesel pollution from ancient   
   Metra locos. I really feel sorry for the apartment and condo buildings sitting   
   next to the diesel    
   rail tracks in the downtown area.
