Final Months of F40s ~ Railfanning Caltrain along the Peninsula!

‪@CentralValleyRailfan8311‬ dragged me out to the Caltrain again... We went up and down the Peninsula and it was a great day! This is a compilation of what we saw for the day. Enjoy the foam!

I wonder how they're going to handle Baby Bullet service after the changeover, will passengers just transfer onto the MP36 led trains in San Jose for the trip down south or will MP36s still run to SF?

[@BlueMouse08]

According to Caltrain's plan, people traveling south of Tamien station have to change to a diesel train (MP36) at San Jose.

Does anyone know whats going to happen to the old engines when the stadler trainsets got into service?

[@ScootsTrains]

They’re gonna go into storage with the gallery cars on the NWP/SMART from what I’ve heard.

So how long until the F40PHs retire?

[@ScootsTrains]

From what I’ve read and have been told, they’re being retired when the electrification starts on September 21st.
