the Metrolink units are EMD F59PH's, not F40's. Metrolink has one F40PH and that is #800, the only such unit operated by the railroad. They did have a quartet of former Amtrak F40PH's which were to be core units for an aborted rebuild program though one unit was eventually placed in service as-is.

It was coming from California so, they need the horsepower thru the mountains. It was going 70mph when we started to chase the train.
