As of now, All F59PHIs and F59PHs including F40PH 800 (Ex Amtrak 396) are officially replaced by the F125s which means they’re officially retired except SCAX 852, 856, 868, and 873
Great video, thanks! Growing up in SoCal (West Covina) in the 70s and 80s I remember picking up our Amtrak tickets a few times at the Pomona Depot there! Back then the Santa Fe Line was the high iron, and Amtrak's Southwest Chief stopped there and used that line. The San Bernardino Line with Metrolink was a secondary Southern Pacific Branch, a former Pacific Electric Line, the lines statuses have simply been reversed ;) The BNSF Pasadena Sub is of course still very much in use to Irwindale.
I rode Metrolink on 5/27/2011 from Los Angeles Union Station to the San Fernando/Sylmar Station after I had arrived in Los Angeles on the Sunset Limited that I rode on from Loser a City Tucson, my best brother in law picked me up at the San Fernando/Sylmar Metrolink Station, it was much easier for him to pick me up there as compared to picking me up at LAX, Bob Hope Burbank airports. The Metrolink train arrived 5 minutes early, it was the Palmdale bound Metrolink train.
My niece takes Metrolink to & from work, she drives to the San Fernando/Sylmar station which is only a short 10 minute drive from her home, she boards Metrolink when she arrives, rides to the Downtown Burbank station, gets off & walks 5 minutes to her work, saves wear & tear on her car, gas & doesn't have to deal with the 2 construction zones on the Golden State Freeway & rush hour traffic at all. I have another niece who works at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center as an intern doctor, she drives to the Stanton, DE DART/SEPTA commuter train station & ride the DART/SEPTA commuter train to the University of Pennsylvania SEPTA station in Philadelphia, gets off & walks to work, a 5 minute walk. Rush hour traffic in Philadelphia is 4 times worse than Los Angeles, there you sit in traffic for 25 to 30 minutes before you move up to 3 feet maximum.
The Gold Line Foothill Extension is being built from Arcadia to Azusa as we speak, and will use former BNSF ROW from Arcadia to Irwindale, and parallel the BNSF Pasadena Sub the rest of the way to Claremont and Montclair.
They did a study back in the 80s to see what light configuration would catch drivers attention. The triangle set up, Top mounted light or nose mounted light and 2 ditch lights make the Triangle. UP BNSF and a few other railroads ditch lights do not flash. Amtrak NS, CSX and others do. The flashing gets drivers attention faster then just straight on lights. Does this explain it better for you?
Oh, for those that don't know, the Southwest Chief runs on the BNSF San Bernardino Sub, they switched to it (then Santa Fe's 3rd District) in in 1994 when the Santa Fe closed the Pasadena Line to through freight and sold the ROW from L.A. through Pasadena to Arcadia to the SCRRA.
Dude i miss california!!!!! The commuter trains are usually not as frequent or long as the ones in the chicago area or northeast but they are nice. However the LOSSAN/Orange County Line/Surfliner route through Orange County is like the sunbelt/SoCal version of the Northeast Corridor
Two engines for 4 cars and a power car on the end,! Here in Canada we have 1 4000 HP engines pulling as many as 10 bi level cars at speed. with a power car on the end. Your system must cost a fortune to operate
Actually, I think they were transporting a engine if I had my guess, IDK about Metrolink's rule but on Amtrak, they allow 1 engine to pull a max of 7 cars
Here in SoCal, Metrolink hauls trains 4-6 cars long with only one engine (two engines if one breaks down) but the sad thing is Metrolink only maintenances their locomotives when they break down. GO Transit (the Canada train you mentioned) transports 200,000 people a day with about 1,000 people on each train and their engines are maintenanced very well. However Metrolink transports 40,000 people a day with poorly maintenanced locomotives and only operates in the Southern California area. GO Transit operates across populated cities
I dated A girl FROM the Los Angeles area who's DAD ( initials are F.E.) worked For Metro Link, she (initials are or were @ the time H.L.E.) also worked for some signal Co. that contracted with METRO LINK for repairing and installing signals along metro link tracks. she also went to work for the FRA for a time up in Wa.. Ran into her last year some time crossing the metro tracks @ Marquardt Ave & Rosecrans crossing in Santa Fe Springs Ca.

+Snuffy's Cat Productions 35 of the generation 1 bombardier cab cars were converted to bicycle cars. All of the 2nd gen bombardier cars were sold to CalTrain and Metrolink and the 3rd gen is still in service. But hopefully soon, all the bombardiers will be gone.
I think it would've been better if the new metrolink trains are only attache to other new metrolink trains. The mixing both the new and the old cars just looks kinda ugly.

Fun fact at 20:40 those well cars were ther when I last went to Glendale station. They were there for over 10 years!
Cool
That’s crazy I wonder why they have been sitting there for?
Hey! frequent Metrolink rider here, I noticed they're gone now
@@whokilledroyy They are???
@@ASoCalRailfanner Yeah they are, they did come back again but then they went away again for some reason I'll have to double check to see
Those new cars are neat :)
Awesome! I sure miss those Bombardier bi level cab cars
19:05 the right light is broken.
maybe they shut it off? or they put in a old light?
@@audreyclaire419 maybe
Perhaps it has something to do with quality control.
At 10:01-10:07, it sounded like a phase/level of Mr Incredible Becoming Uncanny.

I like the new cars they have on the train. Caltrain & Amtrak should make one of those new cars too.
I like the bell on the Bombardier bi-level cab cars they are so cute
1:41 You’re kidding me! There used to be perfect sets with one type of car????
Yes know, but that wasn't the main point of the comment@r0ckyhillsandthunderbirds681
10:04 was my favourite
Awesome Video Snuffy
I love your profile
13:12 its all drivable cab cars and a F59PHI locomotive

At 22:30 & 23:15 Those Are The Best P2 Horns🇯🇵
best of tem all
I enjoyed the Metrolink Train Action, and the outtake too!! Thank you, Snuffy! :-)
As always, great videos!!!
I seen metrolinks but never rode on one before.
Well I have, and these trains glide so smoothly you won’t feel a single bump.
Nostalgia hits HARD!!
13:12 ALL CAB CAR TRAIN!!!
I miss the bomb cab cars those were the bomb.. Lol
Yeah Same Dude😭😭
Well at least for the outtake the whole train made it before failing on you LOL. Nice catches Snuffy
4:50 Sounded like CalTrain for a while lol
SJSharkMaster yea it sounded like a Caltrain f40ph-2cat

Favorite Engine and horn lol
This is cool I’m going to ride metrolink next year

3:46 and 3:52 are sick
As a GTA V fan and player
I think all the time that it looks like Los Santos
Thanks for your video.
Back in 2007 I visited LA too
Ur techinaclly right this is where gta takes place right in la
6:56 - really reminds me of "To Live and Die in LA". Nice Shot.

Thank you. I use iMovie for editing my video.
9:38, A Metrolink train with 3 Rotem cars
ik
I love metrolink trains!
Could someone explain to me the purpose of the alternating flashing lights on the trains in the US? Our trains don't do that in England.
fdama We Americans do it so that our trains aren’t mixed up with automobiles at night. This is also to warn people about the train coming in general.
They're called ditch lights and they light up the ground in front of the train.
That type of rolling stock is now on Tri rail in florida
1:02 Thst sounds like a metro rail horn was a metro rail passing at this time?
And that mix between that horn and the screeching
yep
Awesome catch at 4:25! The Metrolink Palmdale Express had Double-Headers and all-Rotem Train! Other than that nice video!!!
do u mean 4:25 ?
Why were the railroad crossings were not activated at 20:20
It’s only activated when trains go through on the other side that’s why. The track where that train was, they don’t activate just for the other track.
the train is on the other side. railroad crossing can activate in the 1st section
20:04 railroad crossing broken?
no its on the other side. the other side has no station its all a freight train stuff

Why does Metrolink mix their cab cars that way? Why not just use one type. Just wondering if anyone can help.
I believe they use older cars for the bike racks.

Please remove the old engine and use the new one.
Is the SCAX 800 one that previously existed?
SCAX 800 used to be owned by Amtrak and was AMTK 396. 396 was rebuilt (F40PHR) in 1999 before being sold to Metrolink
@Jonalius It was given the R as it is an SDP40F in an F40 body and a HEP generator.
Great action Snuffy!
