2305 is missing a bunch of its things now which are its own door, its mirrors, its marker lights, one of its ditch lights, its head lights and most of its windows. On the bright side it still has its numberboards, its red emergency brake light, its strobe lights, its horn and bell.
@blose774: You are correct. The Chargers entered service along the Surfline Q4 2018 and they seemed reliable initially… But the number of mechanical casualties throughout the Surfline’s SC-44 fleet has wreaked havoc of late. The DASH 8 locomotives seem a little underpowered for the Alstom bi-level consists on revenue services. It will be interesting to see if Siemens and Amtrak California can mitigate the mechanicals issues, or if they eventually have to lease some of the redundant GE P42DC Genesis locomotives to augment their ailing fleet.
Well done James. Very enjoyable.

5 coaster coaches 2202, 2204, 2205, 2206 and 2207 are being sold to front runner
Ive heard that some chargers have broke in the past so they have needed the extra equipment for a while now.

I hope 2305 doesn’t become a coach
@@sebastianmunera5470 : We are in agreement. 👍🏽👍🏽
