The last of Metrolink's Bombardier Cab Cars
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- This is my last footage of Metrolink trains being controlled by Bombardier bilevel cars. These cab cars are no longer seen in the lead as Hyundai-Rotem cars have taken over. The cab cars are done and the majority, if not all of the Bombardier coach cars will also be replaced. But it's for the better. The Hyundai-Rotem cars are safer and more modern. Also, when dealing with crossings as dangerous as this one, Santa Ana boulevard, a safer car is essential.

I miss those things...I have a friend who worked for Metrolink, the Rotems are even worse to run, is what he says.
I wish metrolink would stay with one set of cars because I don't like that some are bombardier and some are the Rotem.
Awesomeboy _13_ how much reply’s do I have to do if I see one more of Bombardier I’m done and I’ll just tell them that Bombardier failed all crashes and Hyundai Rotem has a crumple zone so its safer there is more smarter people out there telling what
I Know Right Doesn't Make Sense Sometimes to me lol
no, the best thing they should’ve done is run 2 different sets like Caltrain, Gallery Car and Bombardier Car, Metrolinks version should’ve been Hyundai Rotem Set and Bombardier Set.
The old cabcars are not scraped yet. I actually like the newer ones, but to make this right for you guys, it would be a good idea to run the old ones on safer routes or run them on there special anniversary. Besides, some of the old coaches are still used. (I meant the ones without cabs between the rotems)
GO TRANSIT in ontario has nothing but Bombardier coaches as these coaches were developed for GO if you look for videos of the GO trainsets you see the new 2800 series coaches and 1 year old 300 series modern bombardier cab cars there is still older 200 series old style cab cars leading in push pull but many are now added as coaches like they do in Chicago on Metra
Also Coaster and Altamont Commuter Express still have those. But Coasters F40PH, F59PHI locomotives, and Bombardier Bilevel Cab Cars now have choked or fouled K5LA horns.
Some of ACE's F40PH locomotives and cab cars have good K5LA horns.
Still see them today around Palmdale and Lancaster
the sad thing is you don't see them as much around anymore
Update for those interested: Some of the cab cars are still in service, they are just being used only as regular coach cars (until their eventual removal from service). As for the removing of the Bombardier cars in general, the 3rd generation Bi-Levels for now seem to be the only ones not affected by the arrival of the new Guardian Fleet. Most of the 1st & 2nd gen cars have disappeared, but some 1st & 2nd gen cars still live on as special Bicycle cars on select trips across the system.
Yep, the 2nd gen coach cars went to Caltrain back in 2015.
Ha, I remember when seeing a Hyundai Rotem was considered "rare."
AmtrakRailfan117 wow
I sure do miss that horn & bell. Damn rotems just dont do it justice
Sad to see those cars leave. I rode in those all the time while I was in the LA area. At least some of them will live on in the new SCAX scheme.
im gonna ask metrolink if i can have their cab cars!!! LOL
Chi Hyun Ahn yeah! I could put it in my backyard an live in it! the rest I would make a memorial for the bombardier cab cars
Chi Hyun Ahn it’s probably gonna be hard to get to they’re Yard or they’re offices and there’s a Bombardier car with the design of Hyundai Rotem And Bombardier failed Crashes Because in 2005 And 2008 Metrolink Bombardier Cars in 2005 parts Went everywhere and in 2008 the Front Of The Bombardier Car opened and caused a fire Hyundai Rotem has a crumple zone which makes it safer and in 2015 Metrolink Slammed Into a pickup truck and caused a fire on the railroad And in 2015 they had PTC And in 2015 The Crash Only the Lights Of The Cab car broke and nothing else And people only got injured and in 2005 And 2008 almost everybody on the train died Only 25 Of Them Did And BNSF served service for them from ending of ptc to 2016 or 2017 more smarter people will tell you this and also it will be hard to put it in your backyard because you have to tell Metrolink And tell the track workers and your parents and why would you want Bombardier scence Metrolink Has them as the stay alive car and the bike car and other kinds of cars and another year to say goodbye to Bombardier For CalTrain Because On 2020 they will go electric CalTrain Still has them and ace and other Trains And also ace cab car number 3309 crashed into rushing water and after when they took out the car from the water it was all damaged and why do Trains still have these scence they will fail
Have you seen go transit new cab car by bombardier
Metrolink should have Fixed the Plows on those Cab Cars, I remember seeing them all the time. It’s sad to see them go. 😢
I don't know why they couldn't upgrade them, but up here in Northern California, CalTrain still uses the Bombardier on their high speed Baby Bullet service. I guess they're the closest you can get to the old Metrolink Cars...they even have those horrid K2s...
rip metrolinks bombardeir cab coachs
the only way you’re going to see bombardier cab cars with p2’s are up North in the Peninsula Sub, Caltrain still has their 8 cab cars 112-120 all of them with the first horn in the video p2 expect for 119 and 120.
They might be gone soon due to electrification
@@trainguy110 they’re keeping them for a few years
The only complaint I have of the new Rotem cars is the seat cushions are smaller. For us that are even slightly overweight the seats are not as comfortable
Well, those new Rotem cab cars keeps you from thinking the train is moving backwards! XD
Metrolink has changed a lot.
Totally off subject but why does Amtrak operate the older single deck cars on the Pacific Surfliner route during the evening? These cars seem to have an oder to them that cant be cleaned out
Amtrak doesn't have enough double-deck cars for all the Surfliner trains to be bilevel consists, so it also runs a single-level consist made up of Amfleet cars (the single level ones, mostly used on the East Coast) on the line. I'm not sure what the reason is behind using them in the evening, but the smell is probably just because they're older cars that have been used more. Most of the Amfleets were built in the 80s and some even date back to the 70s.
you guys should have enjoyed it while it lasted. they all gone now.
Nice video and catches down here in south florida our tri rail still has some bombardier can cars and coaches still il daily service although many trains have Hyundai rotems
the first horn with the metrolink cabcar had a really good P2, similar to Caltrain's
Lol true and good thing Caltrain didn’t replace their bombardier cab cars
@AmtrakSurfliner768 Man am I going to miss those bombardier Cab cars. They were comfortable and seats were not facing backwards. Are you gonna miss those cab cars?
HobbyTV yes
I want to see these again.
@TrainScott yes you should see the video from 1994
athearn is making new paint scheme metrolinks in ho scale, but there aren't any prototype metrolink cab cars in new paint, so that means athearn may make rotem cars, i hope because i wanna break them so bad :D (crash em, not damage because athearn=good and expensive brand)
@AmtrakTitan455 You read my mind AmtrakTitan455! I'll miss those seats too! :(
i love those bombardiers. They are better than the new rotem cars
Why not just rebuild the old cab cars to have PTC? It's cheaper! And ordering a lot of new Rotem cab cars would be expensive! For 56 of them!
@crazytaxi1000 i heard metrolink's bombardier cars may be sold to coaster. But that probably won't happen.... would be nice though if it did.
I know! I just rode the surfliner to union station and passed where all the bombardier cab cars were stored! I saw they were a bit rusty but boarded up windows? It's so sad how metrolink abuses their bombardiers and then just wastes their money on those terrible new cars! Refuse to maintain BBLs, refuse to make them safer, refuse to repaint them, leave them to rust and get new trash rotems that costs 2x more? FAIL
No these aren't the last ones, in june 2012, I saw a 3 car metrolink train on my way to disneyland, with all bombardiers including cab car: at that time i didn't even know the bombardiers were being replaced, so i took the bombardiers for granted, now i know that those will be the last i will ever see :(
The Cab Cars never offically were in service after late 2011
WHY can’t they just repaint them in the ribbon scheme, overhaul and give them RLK5LAs and Graham White E bells??????
I saw Bombardier coach #165, which is right now on Caltrain
#619 has the best sounding p2
Yep I Agree On That
Loved the Nathan P5 horn and Caltrain is using them.
They're Actually Natham P2 Horns
I surely am gonna miss thode Bombardier Bi Level cab cars
i wonder if metrolink will take the bombardier cabs again now that they have similar noses
Only time will tell. The only problem I have against the new cab car designs is the inability to place them in the middle of a train as a standard coach if need be. You can only place two max on a train with one at each end facing away from one another. Also, it appears that Metrolink has been boarding up the windows and headlights on the Bombardier Cab cars and placing them back into service as regular cars, or at least #606 is like that.
Have you seen go transit new cabcar they look better and they should get them
There was a reason why these were replaced.the rotem cars have bigger noses and can be more robust than the bombardier cab cars,bombardiers have no extended noses so if it crashes the driver and the passengers in the cab car will get killed easily.(pls don't send hate to me)
Yes. It's a lot better to hit something in the Rotem when you're sitting that high up, the collision is beneath you. In the bombardier cabs, you were right in the shit.
it would be better if metrolink first got the rotems in 1992 and they got rid of the rotem cab car and they got rid of the f59phi and mp36 and repaint the f59ph to the 1st generation paint scheme...lol
Chi Hyun Ahn YES
Chi Hyun Ahn
What about the F40PHs
Poopsticle_256 Theres only 2 F40PHR Metrolink has. The alimighty 800, the sexiest of them all.
There Are 14 F59PHI's Especially 885 Is The Best F59PHI From Metrolink Especially It's Beautiful Nathan P2
Isn"t that crossing a quiet zone or is it not a quiet zone?
Can these Metrolink's Bombardier Cab Cars be sent to a different transit agencies in the United States?
Me too I wish they just took better care of them and kept them.
Cab Car #619 Has My Favorite Nathan P2🇯🇵
619 sounds like a caltrain
@@d64tv06 I Know Right
Did u guys know that 619 sounds like a caltrain
Well It's P2 Horn Sports A Bell 2 & 3A
they are in Utah in are frontrunner train
we have tons of them in ventura Californian
What Metrolink station is this?
Bombardier cab car is better than Hyundai Rotem cab car
you dam right, even the new bombardier cab cars are even better than rotems
I'm gonna miss the old cab cars. Will some still remain or be sold to another railroad at least?
stampycatfan01 Also, I need SOMEONE who knows ho to make hornsounds for Trainz to make a Nathan P2 hornsound that sounds like number the first cab car's horn.
***** OK.
I saw Cabcar 601 and 610 at Metrolinks Keller St yard in January, I was sooo happy to see them as I haven't seen a single bombardier cab car lead Metrolink trains in 5 years
JoNaLgAmInG Cool!
they still have some Bombardier Cab Cars, they’re not scrapping them anytime soon, they’re being converted into coaches with the new rotem livery, i saw a cab car in the LA yard last march i went to visit
Metrolink cab car 609 has a caltrain horn
It’s 619 lol ik the camera is kinda blurry
Retired in 2011.
I miss these things, the Hyundai-Rotem ones look ugly...
*cab*
The seats on those Rotems are damn uncomfortable. Bombardiers all the way!
*in*
who going to buy those cars? is CALTRAIN buying them?
Cal train bought some, not all. There's still a ton of them in storage (last I checked) and several cab cars got converted to coaches.
AmtrakSurfliner768 that's interesting
+AmtrakSurfliner768 why don't metrolink sells them to railfans?
Justin Mckenzie I KNOW
TexasRailfan21 in fact they actually are. I just saw a video where union pacific was taking 16 of them up to San Jose for caltrain.
P2
That's Right🇯🇵
Sucks they practically don't exist in today's time.
Yeah. In light of recent events, a lot of people speculate if these new cab cars are any safer than the old ones.
Man! Hyundai Rotem Is Safer
The rotems are so ugly and so unsafe and why did they paint it an ugly color. Bombardier is way better
I honestly think the ribbon paint is better than blue one, it’s more simple and easier to draw.
I hate the rotems they are bad
those horns are bloody awful!
