    Heads Up: Older Metrolink locomotives pulling a freight through Baldwin Park, CA

    Ah yes thanks for reminding me. I couldnt remember what those locomotives were called. I knew it was the recently retired ones lol. Interesting that they were spotted in OC too. Well I'm very glad to see there are a few out there still earning their keep! I thought theyd all been scrapped or...

    Heads Up: Older Metrolink locomotives pulling a freight through Baldwin Park, CA

    Although I love trains, I do not know much about them so unfortunately I cant give you any specific details. But there are 2 older Metrolink locomotives pulling a frieght of some sort passing Baldwin Park, CA (San Gabriel Valley area) Station at the moment. I thought that was pretty...

    Azusa/Baldwin Park CA Union Pacific Local

    Hi i just thought id post this for anyone who may be interested in this train. This local normally runs 4 or 5 nights a week, monday to friday at night- sometimes very late at night! During the Coronavirus shutdowns it seemed to be doing ok. Still about 4 nights a week, sometimes with lots of...

    Elderly lady kicked off Eagle.

    Bingo. Took the words out of my mouth. I'll add this: I have zero tolerance for those who discriminate against innocent people merely because god forbid there's something about them that's (EEK!) different in any way, especially if their needs can be easily accommodated. (Of course there are...

    Pet Program Flexibility

    Im not sure how they can stop you from #1. Some tickets - the ones purchased at a machine - don't even have your name on them. Stay low key, maybe don't sit in the same place if possible, etc. It's only 1 hour longer than allowed. If it was a significantly longer, I wouldn't try it. As for 2, I...

    He's got his whole farecard in his hand...

    I'm thinking we should introduce him to that woman in San Diego who claims to have romantic feelings for the train station there & says she's married it. Never mind, bad idea...

    A commuting dog?

    LOL!! That was a good old movie - VERY 70's, but still fun to watch. The Daring Dobermans and The Amazing Dobermans were good, too.

    Train Songs!

    Most of my favorites have already been mentioned, so I'll try to be creative. "Zoo Station" - U2 "Tons of Steel" - Grateful Dead "Downbound Train" - Bruce Springsteen "Miner's Silver Ghost" - Merle Haggard "Mystery Train" - Elvis Honorable Mention: "Dont Stop Believing" - Journey

    A commuting dog?

    Amazing story. Doesnt surprise me to find out it was a Doberman who managed to do this. They are spooky-smart dogs. They are considered one of the top 5 smartest dog breeds, though I would personally rank them first or 2nd. I hope they find this cute fellow's family, though it kinda seems like...

    Metrolink’s “Tier 4” locomotive unveiling stopped in its tracks

    Yep it's baaaaaaaack. Saw it stop at Covina a little while ago. Seemed to be doing fine. Saw it pass by a couple times after midnight in the past week or so.

    Metrolink ticket machine down

    At many stations, the screens on the machines are so dim they are almost impossible to read - especially at certain times of the day when the sun's shining on them. The last time this happened to me (I couldnt buy a ticket because i couldnt see the text on the screen), i called Metrolink and...

    Metrolink EMD F125 "Spirit" Locomotive

    Just saw it pass by my work. I heard its somewhat distinctive horn in the distance so I knew what was coming. It has been passing by late at night the past couple nights; heading out around 10-ish or so & coming back after 2am (last night it called it quits early and headed back before 1)...

    Out of the shadows, Lurker!

    Hey there. I first noticed this site when I started looking around online for info about trains in general. I love Amtrak and have taken quite a few trips on it, so I was delighted to find this forum where I could actually learn so much about it. After lurking around for some time and reading...
