They’ve been running them a lot for revenue service for some reason these last couple weeks. 852, 856, 868, and 873. I’ve been able to commute with 3 out of the 4 recently.
I 've said it once , I 've said it twice Amtrak and Metro link should have the F40PH , F59PH and F59PHI ' s and the MP 36 PHM ' s ( they were once SD 50 's rebuilt by MPI ) rebuilt for they are more reliable and will out last what Amtrak and Metro Link Uses today ! Long live Metro Link F40PH #800 !
Yes some of them were used to build MP36 's the SD 50 TOTAL BODY WAS REMOVED ! THEN THE REMAINING FRAME WAS STRIPPED DOWN TO NOTHING ! THE THREE AXLE TRUCKS WERE EXCHANGED WITH FOUR AXLE TRUCKS ! THE PRIME MOVER WAS REPLACED WITH AN EMD 645 -F3 PRIME MOVER ! EVERYTHING ELSE WAS , INCLUDING THE BODY WAS BUILT BY MPI ( MORRISON KNUDSON ) NOW KNOWN AS WEBTEC !
@@AVeryRandomPerson The early one's were built this way ! And the newer versions were totally EMD KIT'S ! LET'S GIVE THANKS TO THE SD50 's that gave there soul's !

@@AVeryRandomPerson the F40s were built from 1976 - 1992.

Why did that one car decide to just go around the crossing gates
Where are the Bombardier coaches of Metrolink we like them back I’m sad they are in Caltrain😢
Nice video ;) On 4:48 doubled Metrolink trains and on 8:14 another doubled Metrolink trains :O
27:44 those mechanical bells got replaced by electronic bells
Perfect catches perfect railroad crossing your videos are perfect
It looks like most of the southbound trains are deadheading into LAUS, right?
15:50 Those of you waiting for the F40PH (800)
Scax 800 is back in service
@FoolishMortal01 Metrolink thinks it's ugly and not useful anymore.
the f40’s are siting at the yard in the LA River close to Union Station as well with F59/phi with an abandoned cabcar that has some missing windows
Bro what is the police doing at the bottom and the ambulance bro👇🤨
I remember seeing a triple set (really rare I think) on my way to a pizza place after a baseball game
