Recorded at the Norwalk / Santa Fe Springs Metrolink Station in Norwalk, California, on August 22, 2016.
The BNSF engines on Metrolink trains were leased for the purpose of ensuring that the Rotem cab cars -- deemed to be unsafe until fixed -- did not lead. These days, the cab cars can lead again, and the BNSF leaser units are gone.
The Amtrak Exhibit Train was hitching a ride to an event at the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
