Rare Metrolink trains in Upland, CA

I hadn't planned on railfanning today but my mother brought us to IHOP and coincidentally the Metrolink runs behind it. So I guess i made the right choice in bringing out my phone and recording the GO Transit. After breakfast I asked my mother if we could wait for the next metrolink train which was 12 minutes out and that was a great choice too as it had a BNSF Unit at the back. Later in the day i went back up to the Metrolink tracks and caught the BNSF leading back to Los Angeles, CA. Hope you enjoy this short video!

Imagine standing there at 2:32 with no headphones on and the person in there presses the train horn?

thanks glad you like it

I heard Metrolink is tagging BNSF units on because they don't like the cabcars.

[@CaliforniaRailProductions]

it's for safety

[@burdizdawurd1516Official]

+California Rail Productions™ yet I have seen K-cars leading as 150mph Acela sets pass on the NEC. I question how a Rotem isn't safe, given these have more nose than a CTC-5, which is none. Unless if this is a PTC issue, or DIB.

+burdizdawurd1516 A rotem cabcar has been involved in a collision already about a year ago and it was suppose to protect everyone, however, the engineer of the train didn't survive so now all cabcars will get an inspection to see how they can improve the cabcars' safety.

+TheSd90mac-Railfanner fascinating, so one death of the most forward position individual creates trouble for a system of push-pull that has worked for 50 years? I'm staying on the east coast were we at least use cabcars, although the locomotives are all getting thrown out.

+burdizdawurd1516 yep, lost my father over it. So yes it is a safety issue. Yes, please stay out on the East Coast 👍🏻

[@mattzillagamer1696]

What's the difference when it has the BNSF

[@jmslakings]

+Matzilla Gamer Supposedly, Metrolink is getting rid of the cab cars because they are considered "Unsafe" Metrolink has some deal worked out with BNSF. You're going to see lots of BNSF power on Metrolink trains soon.

[@CaliforniaRailProductions]

+jmslakings they aren't getting rid of them, they working out the kinks

I wish Chaka would tag the trains up again!!

[@epacm50]

I found these cars in HO scale several weeks back. Unfortunately, they are no longer available. Darn!!!

[@epacm50]

I guess I will have to settle with Metra cars. LOL

[@SRproductions281]

Great video man

[@e_5463]

Great video!!!

[@SeligsTrainsandTravels]

It's interesting how Metrolink removed the logo from the BNSF. Do you know how long they are on loan?

[@CaliforniaRailProductions]

metrolink didn't remove it, it came like that, they are supposed to be here till the new F125'S get here

[@SeligsTrainsandTravels]

Oh, interesting. Thank you!

[@sgtdebones]
