You guys are gonna be sad when F59PHI 3001 will retire. And so will I. I don’t live in America but I wanna at least go there and see it before it retires.
What they did with the cascade f59s is they put them in the meter shop (If I am correct.) and repainted them to look like the amtrak surfliner but in metra.
Nice catches Spence! great to see 3001 back in service! i wish NCTD would wrap it in the new livery but i guess sticking with the old scheme would be even better to see!
@@coolleo149 3001 and 3002 were built in 2001 making them 20 years old. The two were part of the same order and they were among the last F59PHI’s to be built.
The F40s will be donated to the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum. The F59's fate is currently unknown; the two were semi-retired on February 8, 2021 and are currently on standby duty until all Chargers have arrived.
A high speed rail line would cost way too much money and almost nobody would use it. The US has cheap enough airfare with flying being much more convenient if you want to get somewhere faster and cheaper. This is a commuter rail line that only serves about 40 miles and 10 stops. The purpose of this line is to not sit in the miserable traffic on the 5.
