Tri-Rail F40PH Rebuild

Tri-Rail testing continued with the F40PHM-3C/F40PH-3C series, this time with #810 (former Amtrak #363) performing brake testing between 71st Street, near Iris Interlocking, and the Miami Dade-Broward County Line. The test trains comprised of five Hyundai-Rotem coaches and one cab car.
The 807-811 were rebuilt by Progress Rail in Patterson, GA and deadheaded to and from their contracted work on CSX trains Q452/Q453 for the most part. Locals presumably brought them the last mile to Patterson. All the engines as far as I know sport Nathan P5A horns, as well as have the body built out to the rear of the frame. The marker lights are LED as well.
This chase was fun and spent with friends. I do apologize for the shakiness in one of the run-bys as it wasn't anticipated they come this quick and I wanted to be on the other side, but had no time to set up there.
We get plenty of horn action this time, at 79th Street grade crossing and also at Dunad St in Opa-locka, by the Tri-Rail station.
At the end, another parody of our good New York Central fan friend in a very similar setting to one of his clips :))

It’s so surprising the see Tri Rail’s F40PH locomotives return. I hope they repaint them into the old or new tri rail scheme!

[@TolgaEastCoast]

Yes!

[@HueyRailfanning]

This just in: 811 has returned!

[@TolgaEastCoast]

Thanks, I heard it on the radio per the RTA dispatcher for O717, but decided to hold tight at home since the semester started and I'm ramping work up.

[@iliketrains1233]

I think 808 is yet to arrive

[@HueyRailfanning]

808 arrived at the end of September. 811 was the last one.

@@TolgaEastCoast 810 and 811 were the best in the fleet

[@superbaddy4]

For me, 807 and 811 were the best. But these P5s are great too. I'm glad more P5s are still showing up on units somewhere.

[@easternroutemainlinevideos6823]

@@superbaddy4 NC p5s suck.

[@superbaddy4]

Mixed Cast P5s are the best.

[@jermaineartis1798]

It'll be nice if Amtrak have those back again.

[@TolgaEastCoast]

I wish so too

[@metropolitantransit7276]

GO Transit should also purchase rebuilt F40s.

[@davidng2336]

That's great to see them back in service. What's the main reason for their return?

[@TolgaEastCoast]

To serve MiamiCentral plus replace some aged GP49H-3s.

[@lo838]

@@TolgaEastCoast yeah those GP 49s are in terrible shape. Rode on tri-rail last week and 815 was the leading engine was in bad shape. Oh and I pasted by Hialeah yard and I saw 802 in the yard as well

[@iliketrains1233]

I want 811 back

[@TolgaEastCoast]

811 arrived on Tuesday

[@mikelowery5741]

A radio scanner.
