Built by Siemens Mobility in June 2021 and numbered 300. This series of locomotives is a long-distance variant of the Siemens SC-44 Charger used on state-sponsored corridor trains. This photo was taken of the first unit in the series being brought to Chicago not long after being built at Siemens' factory in Florin, CA (near Sacramento).
