Nice catches!

[@jamesburnside3023]

Awesome video

[@aaron8a298]

nice vid ;)

[@markjohnson4924]

Wouldnt it be great if all of Metrolinks cars would match?

[@ChachaChapati]

That bugs the hell out of me, too. Apparently, every train must have a Bombardier bike car, which the Hyundai Rotem fleet does not have.

[@PasadenaSubColin]

@@ChachaChapati I’ve seen trains that have lacked bike cars before. Metrolink just wants to have a balanced of old and new to keep all the trains looking consistent. Though it doesn’t help that the rotems aren’t structurally able to become bike cars

[@justinjones8866]

It'd be great if they'd paint the Bombardier bilevel cars the same color scheme as the rest of the train since the old scheme was used by locomotives that's are rarely in service anymore
