On the one hand, it is unbelieveably awesome to get these Stadler KISSes. On the other hand, it is never a happy occassion to watch a locomotive (or EMU or plane) make its final revenue run, and F40PHs will not be an exception.
It has enough power to operate the train from one end to the other. Not only that, but because of how electric trains are built. Because the rails and wheels are conductive, the power going into the motor gets grounded at the rails, completing a full electric circuit.
Would be cool to see the AEM-7’s retrofitted for rail yard work or as an electric head end going north to sf and a diesel going south to gilroy.
It’s change a lot of us aren’t ready for
Yep, we will miss the F40s

You’ve had nearly a decade to prepare lol
Excellent video from Argentina my Friends greeting suscribete 😊
Isn’t it EMU instead of EUM?
Whoops I did not catch that 😅
Thanks for letting me know!
🔥🔥
Why do the Sadler trains run with only the one pantograph up?
