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.
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!
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.
@@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.
It’s nice to see the F59s still in service. I wish Coaster would overhaul the two in their fleet to extend their service lives.
Oh man. I probably won't have a chance to catch it.
@@Railviation Coaster’s F59PHIs should be Donated To the Niles Canyon Railway because it would be a new life and a new era for F59PHIs

@@davidng2336 yup, maybe Coaster should Sold Their F59PHIs To the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum you mean. Right?
The coaster charger and the coaster f59
Just became best friends
Dang, i keep wanting to call the f59 phi the mp36 because they look so similar
The mp-36 is longer and more streamlined and the PHI well it’s the same thing but shorter and less streamed lined
I love 💕 Coaster trains!
me too
Nice to see that the F59s are still in service (for now). Great footage as always.
Even though only one of them is in service because 3002 is retired, it's nice to see them every now and then for the time being.
seeing the new Coaster liveries feels like it had a Gatorade touch
Raised letter K5LAs everywhere. I didnt know they replaced 2305s horn. So that leaves 3001/2301/2302 as the last 3 good horns on NCTD.
The raised letters are much louder. I personally like em.
Awesome train footage! Great scenery and views too!
great catches and video of these coasters
great video...great work on filming ...thank you

I like it.
6:16 yo that's that fastest coaster I've seen in a minute!
I timed 3.14 secs for the 5 cars to pass, which means it's ROLLIN' at 92.3 mph!! O__O
I love the F59s, To bad the cascade ones are gone
But there still on metra

Nice Video. Subscribed to your channel and appreciated it
Really nice!!
I miss the f40s they were my childhood
I Love Your Channel
nice!
If any of you have Train simulator or minecraft make Coaster F40s and F59PHIs in the new paint scheme same as the SC44s
Nice content! :)
Awesome raised k5las.👍
it’s great to see the F59PHs still in service, however I don’t like them in the coaster livery that much.
*F59PHI
Super film!
With all the Coaster F40PH pulled from service, F59PHI will continue service throughout 2021?
I doubt it but maybe
I’ve heard rumors it’ll be in service till 2023. I’m convinced they’ll use it until it breaks down.
At least the F59 locomotives are still in service for Coaster. Hopefully they continue working for a while.
Once the next two Chargers arrive the F59s will retire.
Oh man
Your videos keep getting better! 🆒
How on flipping earth is the f59phi’s still on coaster 😲😲😲
Great video spencer
I wonder if they will get tier 4 engines like what Amtrak California will do to their F59PHI’s
Cc. ‘Nd
@@natesmainlinevids yea ik but I was thinking that Amtrak would make their Remaning F59’s Tier 4 as well
Great content as always! How do you feel about the chargers?
Thanks! They're not my favorite..
@@spencerhughes2255 No problem! Yeah I agree with you on that one...
11:42 sounds good
That was a good video
awesome

Is The San Diego Coaster F59PHI Locomotives Going To Be Retired?
Doesn’t seem like they are, but that is the NCTD Coaster’s decision maybe.
I’ve heard rumors that 3001 should be in service until 2023. I’m convinced they will use the engine until it breaks down.
Yeah I kinda don’t know how old the engine is, but yeah I’m guessing it will be retired in 2023 sadly.

Nah, Just the F40s were retired. 3001 should stick around a little longer.

OMG what is this junk? I was about to say this is 3rd world transport but even Nigeria has a more modern railway these days. Even high speed rail.
