- In the spirit of Metrolink's 30th Anniversary I have compiled here a collection of various locations of trains I have caught on Metrolink over the past 3-4 years. They are all on my home line, the Metrolink San Bernardino Line. Metrolink is 30 years old, and thus has gone through many changes during its existence. Most notably is the power the trains use. We begin with seeing locomotives of the F59 type on Metrolink, which were their bread and butter for over 25 years. However they also got additional newer MP36 units too to expand service. Then we see the newer power Metrolink has purchased to retire the F59s as some are over 30 years old, and are too old to reliably serve on the network. Since purchasing F125s they also bought 3 FLIRT DMUs for the small Redlands Arrow Service.
The Metrolink San Bernardino Line was one of the 3 original Metrolink lines. It was opened on the first day of Metrolink Operations, October 26, 1992. Back then it comprised of the ex SP State Street Line, and SP Covina Branch trackage, and went as far as Pomona North. However it was envisioned to go all the way to San Bernardino, and it soon got control of the eastern half of the ATSF Pasadena Subdivision, and got to work upgrading it to continue the line onward. Wrestling away control from the LACMTA's wishes, the line was expanded to Claremont on December 7th 1992. On February 22nd 1993 it expanded to Montclair, and on May 17th 1993 it made it out to San Bernardino, and various stations were added in the middle as time went on with the modern line taking shape in 1994 as sidings and double track were added. On January 31st 1994 the Pasadena Subdivision faced an abrupt shutdown, and Metrolink was allowed to expand service with more time for extra trains. In 2015 the line was extended from San Bernardino Depot to San Bernardino Downtown, and again in 2022 to Redlands.
Metrolink runs over 40 trains daily on this line making it their busiest and most prestigious line. Freight service is maintained under trackage rights, by UP and BNSF on the portions of the line that were sold off by their predecessors. Amtrak also has trackage rights on the line owing to their usage of the Pasadena Sub, and every few years the Chief will detour along the line. Freight counts range from 0-2 UP trains a day, and 2-12 BNSF trains a day depending on the day and location.
Locations shot are Covina, La Verne, Pomona, Claremont, Upland, Kaiser, Fontana, Rialto, and San Bernardino, on the Metrolink San Gabriel Subdivision.

Metrolink is my favorite train company and this video made my day
glad to hear it
I can't wait to see the 3rd livery being mashed into train sets with the other 2 different liveries..
What’s the new livery?
@@Railfanner109 its a dark gray with a light blue stripe on one side and a dark blue stripe on the other with the current logo. It's on some of the older bombardier cars, of witch some have the 2010 green stripe already...

Nice Metrolink Video film from time to time
Metrolink san Bernardino County line
It’s nice to see trains evolve over the years
Opooshjsmaksjwjziwjzjwisjsjsosnpjojo
Did you guys know metrolink used to have ohio brass whistles as a way to signal warning
Why are all their mp36 and f59ph locomotives mostly white? Also what line(s) do you film on? And at 7:37 it looks suspiciously similar to the commuter rail in my city
F59s/MP36s are white because that's the paint older scheme used on them. This video is the Metrolink San Bernardino Line, I film on all 7 of the Metrolink lines though, mainly SB, OC, and RIV
Was the train operated by the cab car or the loco?
I love trains
Excellent video, lots of great sounds!
Nice collection. In your honest opinion, do you feel that the San Gabriel Sub could support an extension of Brightline West from Rancho Cucamonga to LA Union Station? Thanks. 👍🏻
It can't. The brightline trains would need to travel on their own separate tracks isolated from the Metrolink network, and the corridor is too narrow in many places to accomadate extra tracks. If the Brightline were to get extended to LA, it need to find another corridor to use
Nice Video Colin
How do you get so good quality
Pasadena Sub Colin is number one
Do you work with trains or just record them?
Both, I have affairs with the railroad, but I also enjoy documenting trains where I live
@@PasadenaSubColin so would you say you could operate a train legally?
Nice video btw ur insta account not working so texted you on ur other account
