One of the 2 metrolink trains departing that station is a reversed train set. It has the locomotive leading towards los angeles instead of the cab car.
OceansideRailfan Thanks ! Yeah, there's roughly five Metrolink trainsets stored here (not including #751 & #753). These are visible from the 91 freeway.
OceansideRailfan #184 actually came into California and left within a day after I Railfanned here. I'm certain it was placed onto an outbound Amtrak train judging by HeritageUnits.com Definitely would've been nice for it to stick around though.

InlandEmpireRailfan Are you referring to the date of the video or at the present moment ? Equipment is interchanged often among the Metrolink system and can be seen on different Metrolink lines from day to day.
BrentNguyen46 When you said there were 2 trainsets on the Riverside to Perris Line, I always saw SCAX 860 with 634 and 864. Did that F59PHI leave the PV line causing the trainsets to go to the 91 Line?
InlandEmpireRailfan It kind of depends on which train number you’re talking about essentially. For example, the South Perris to/from Riverside Downtown only trains, they are the same trainset for that day, however trainsets traveling to and from LAUPT to Perris can be different on any given day. Metrolink interchanges equipment not based on locomotive and car numbers, but the number of cars for that particular train number passenger demand. (Like if a train on a route requires a 4 car trainset, whichever 4 car trainset is available will run on that route.) F59PHI #879 has likely been interchanged many times since this video. I actually caught #879 in Camarillo on the Ventura County Line back in July; quite a ways from Perris I would say.

Is 879 off the PV line? I only saw 860 and 872.

BrentNguyen46 Okay thanks for notifying me. I always hear a P2 that sounds like 860 and I saw 634 when I visited March a few days ago.
InlandEmpireRailfan No problem. Thanks for the comments !
