I will never forget the Caltrain F40PH’s and the Gallery cars. The best Memories of the old Caltrain fleet. Have a happy Retirement, Old Caltrain fleet!! 😢🥹😭
When the other ones following these are out of here soon, it will fully be the end of an era for Caltrain. I just didn't know at first the Gallery coaches were rather bouncy.
I saw that Caltrain Gallery Cars will be put near Warm Springs Bart Station. I noticed this because I saw it on April 20, 2024 (Bart's Old Fleet Last Day).
Pretty sure Metra is working with Alstom to make some new Coradia Bi-Levels for their system to replace their gallery cars so they'll probably not buy any unless they need temporary replacement cars
Metra’s new Alstom stock will not start showing up until next summer and that’s the optimistic outlook. They are a new design and they’re running late (vis-a-vis Acela deux). Under the best of circumstances it will take Metra until the end of the decade to integrate the new cars into service. That said, it would be a good idea to buy or lease the newest of the now unemployed Caltrain cars to sideline the oldest of their bilevels IF that can save some maintenance money.
I heard the rumor going around, but I’m not positive that the cars are being stored either in Roseville or Petaluma pending disposition, I don’t know if Caltrain still owns the equipment, but that’s what I heard going around circulating. Maybe someone can verify that.
Engineer should have gone way slower and the little white car pacing the train should have a much much louder “back up” signal. And then filming in its entirety the whole move at 1mph. Must be former Newport ship builders😂
Nope, not with that disastrous half second floor, high platform boarding and stairs. This would also be a logistical nightmare as the gangways for these cars are on the bottom level whereas the superliner gangways are at the top. There are transition cars but to assemble a consist with these would be dreadful.
That is a really nice retirement train.🚂🚃🚃🇺🇲
I agree

I heard about this happening, glad you caught it for the rest of us to see.

Metra and VRE still exists

Nice channel you got here!! I liked and subbed 👍I rail fan in Nebraska.
We only have 44 gallery cars on Caltrain property and all f40s
I wonder where these cars will be going perhaps Metra
Metra would certainly like to get their hands on these

I hope someone could do a fun raiser to save one of Garry cars to operate scenic railroad that need them or other operators
3:25 Who in here likes the SD70ACE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Me!
Me, and it also has a K3LA horn!
I sure do like the SD70ACe my favorite locomotives in the whole world UP BNSF KCS and NS and even the UP heritage units
@@UnionPacific1943-hz2oc yea UP did a amazing job on their HU fleet, my favorite is 1996
@@orlandorailfanproductions2010 my favorite heritage unit of the UP is the 1982 and 1989 and 1988
Dang I didnt know this was happening!
Good luck, Caltrain Gallery retirement trains!😢
POV the one guy at the RR club:
So what will replace the gallery cars and the f40’s?
@@lizggil123 stadler kiss emus
The Union Pacific SD70ACE’s number is 8496, not 8406.
@@HunterWilliams-le9bk my bad-I misread it
I’m guessing these cars are either going in storage for the time or will be scrapped?
What's going to happen to them, and the f40ph's?

Schellville
Those passenger car still looks good seems a waste to be honest
where are gallery cars heading to?
Is it all the gallery cars and f40’s or just most of them?
@@lizggil123 all will be retired except 920-922 F40s
@@timectrl what about the gallery cars?
@@lizggil123 maybe a set for backup. All should be retired
Niceee
Wonder what’s going to happen with these guys?

It will eventually happen to Metra
nice
Your title uses the wrong number FYI
Yeah, it’s 8496, not 8406.
How do you know when these happen?
information I get
I think those cars could be modified and upgraded. Then used on Amtrak long distance routes.

Who else thinks they're going to metra?
