  • There’s a new reason to visit San Diego county’s Pacific Southwest Railway Museum. KPBS reporter John Carroll traveled out to Campo to see the museum’s newest piece of railroad history.

    It's so strange seeing an F40PH of any type in a museum, they use over one hundred of them on Metra still, and I see them the most often. I'm glad the museum got this rare variant of the F40PH.

      A commuter lime here in Texas uses both the F40 and 2 F40PH's. Such cool locomotives.

    When I rode the Coaster and Metrolink, I was surprised by how many people are into trains. Who knew?! It is interesting. Like visiting an aviation museum. We just take this stuff for granted 😅

    I rode a Coaster pulled by 2103 in 2019, just before they were retired. The engine crapped out completely in Old Town. There was a rumble, and then total silence. After about 20 minutes an Amtrak picked us up to perform the route, and they ferried the Coaster up to Oceanside so it could perform the southbound run. I wish the NCTD had taken better care of their rolling stock before they got the Chargers.

    All F40s should be preserved and saved to tourist railroads and railroad museums!

      It's a non EMD copy of one, it has a lot of older GP parts.

    That's hardly an "historic" locomotive. A steam engine is; a late-model F40PH is not.
