<p>[quote user="RailEagle"] Metra. And second of all when are those Siemens Chargers going to enter service on the Pacific Surfliner. I heard something about a test train being run in San Diego.[/quote]</p> <p>To the end of April 2018 Caltrans 2107, 2108, 2109, and 2110 left Sacramento. In the meantime there might be more locomotives delivered.</p> <p>Three (2107, 2109, 2110) were shot on a nightly test in this video: <a href="https://youtu.be/yRBY54mMEpc">https://youtu.be/yRBY54mMEpc</a></p> <p>The video contains three Charger test train run-bys at 3:05, 3:55, and 4:25.</p> <p>[quote user="RailEagle"]Also would the F59s receive new reporting marks before or after they leave San Diego?[/quote]</p> <p>I think that depends on where ownership changes or were a makke-over will be made.</p> <p>[quote user="RailEagle"]Finally would it be reasonable to expect to see a ~20 unit power move and if so who would pull it?[/quote]</p> <p>I would expect Amtrak to move the F59s on its own trains east, possibly dead in tow and in pairs. I don't expect a single power move.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
