as a kid for some reason, i always saw metrolink like a sibling to trinity railway express because not only did they both use the same locomotive and passenger car designs, but they almost had similar color themes. but now that the f59ph-s and f59phi-s are being retired and they have a newer color theme, i can-t see metrolink the same way anymore. i also wished i started learning about locomotive designs way earlier.

I-ve only been to California once, I hope to go back soon, and i-m saddened to see an iconic locomotive of the Metrolink commuter rail go into the history books. But, I-m glad I saw three of them before their retirement (851, 870, 874. Although not many people like or have interest in the new F125, in my opinion they-re a good replacement, I hope to see how good they will perform as the new face of Metrolink.

8: 25 chatsworth was where one of the worst trains wrecks in the United States happened, when an metrolink train crashed head on collided with an union Pacfic freight train and it was both the worst train wreck in metrolink's history and the worst in the United States since the 1993 big Bayou disaster.
Rest in Peace to that F59PH that was scrapped after the wreck.

rode on the last consist with one yesterday, on the Orange County line to Oceanside, the 6 40 train. I now regret riding in the cab car to try and charge my phone, but there was no power in the outlets. I shouldve moved to the front car behind the F59, just to hear an actual P2 one last time since those awful K2s are now all that will be heard.

Nice catches Mike! My buddy Jim worked for Metrolink from 1992 up until his retirement in 2014. He ran all of those locomotives, including 800. 800 was a bad run because they threw a monitor right in the middle of the cab, and the engine loaded slow and whatnot. But he liked the F59s.

This is like the end of the world for me because back when Metrolink used to do the holiday toy express they would use these for the engine with the decorations and greetings on it, but now that can-t happen again with these engines being gone------

I heard that they would rebuild some let-s hope so. After watching a video on metrolink-s and seeing 882 (the locomotive they said they would start the rebuilding process with) sitting and roting away I think not.

Metrolink: Time to scar these old horses Northstar Rail: Hold it right there! I saw the ho scale model of a northstar rail F59PHI. Metro link: You did? I got an Idea! Sells 6 F59PHI's to northstar. Renumbered 500-505

Metrolink F59PH 857 - This is so unfair that I'm retiring from more modern engines. I belong in a museum! Metro link 871 - No you don't 857 - YES I DO! 871 - No! You belong in the scrapyard awaiting to be in pieces.
