According to what I’ve heard the MP36’s will remain to power the commuter trains running from San Jose to Gilroy; there’s talk about extending at least one train to Salinas, but that’s just a rumor.
It could be possible one or a few will be preserved at a museum. The California State Railroad Museum would be a great place to have one but I don't know if they have enough space.
@@The_texan_tiger Somebody did say that they might be useful for diesel runs on the Niles Canyon Railway, but I'm not sure what other museums could use one.
@@The_texan_tigercan’t they are being disabled part of the deal for the new electric’s is they basicallyhave to destroy the diesel’s prime mover and HEP diesel generator
Metrolink has historically been anti-electrification, and instead is focusing on improving rail service for the 2028 Olympics. The new timetable going into effect in October adds more off-peak trains, but they still have a long way to go.
The new trains look so beautiful. Swiss engineering.
Great to see more f40 cottage from you, great video!
PERU SE LOS AGRADECE POR TENER
TRENES CALTRAIN . BUENOS TRENES CALTRAIN

Will the MP36s continue to operate or the 2 AEM-7s the Caltrain will carry the Cabcar trains?
Any idea on where the retired f40’s will go? Will they be scrapped or preserved at museums?

@@railtechadventurer I see. Do they have other train museums that’ll accept them and be used for excursion trains?

@@railtechadventurer I see. Will they use their hep power for those runs?

@@JPBX904Any reason why Metrolink is against railroad electrification? Is it because some of their trackage is shared by freight?
@@kevinb8881 Most likely yes, the LA to Fullerton section especially is on one of BNSF's busiest corridors.
@@JPBX904 Oh ok, got it!!
These f40s should've retired years ago
