i had the pleasure of working there in the mid 80's testing engines
Universal defect detectors, standards, protocols, design, prototype, pre-production beta testing? Railcar inspection portal manufacturer product testing?
Impressive facility. Neat to see that one of Amtrak's former classic SDP40F's is still on the site being used as a test unit.
Do you know if it is still there?
@@SouthernCaliforniaRailfan according to google maps, it is still there alongside the bombardier jet train
@@unaizilla thanks
@@SouthernCaliforniaRailfan the sd60mac's 9500, 9502 and 9503's also there
Look at that ! 9503 still running! I spent many days there locomotive testing ....
