SCAX 905 |
| Description: |
An interesting little train passes through Fullerton, California, as the sun was rising on June 16th, 2016. This train originated at EMDs plant in Muncie, IN, and has been handled by both Norfolk Southern and BNSF Railway, for the sole purpose of delivering Metrolinks brand-new F125 diesel to Los Angeles. The train consists of BNSF ES44C4s 8109 and 6756, flat car OTTX 92970, SCAX F125 905 and flat car OTTX 97376. The flats are to provide extra axles for braking. |

SCAX 905 |
| Description: |
Metrolink's first (and, so far, only) F125 will be on display at Los Angeles Union Station on Monday, July 18, 2016. The engine arrived a day early to get set up. Metrolink 905 is an EMD F125 - the date on the builder's sticker is 5/1/2016, and the builder's number is 20126849-003. Rumor has it that these engines do not have blended braking (a combination of dynamic and regular braking) and, if the prime mover has a problem and shuts down, the Head End Power also quits working. That could make for some very uncomfortable passengers if the engine quits! |

If you cross your eyes and let them go out of focus, it kind of, sort of, looks like an F-unit. Maybe. OK, not really. But, still, it is an F-unit. This is the front view of EMD's new F125 passenger diesel. So far, southern California's Metrolink is the only customer for these locomotives (and, as of July 17, 2016, they have taken delivery of only one). SCAX F125 905 is preparing for its "debut" the next day, July 18, at Los Angeles Union Station. |
