Certainly very interesting! I'm starting to think it's operating costs; just filled out a survey for Metro that covered everything from local bus to Metrolink as well as Metro Rail. It was very budget-focused, and I know they're about to conduct some track improvements on the Antelope Valley line in the Calgrove pass; is it possible these are related? I'm somewhat doubtful that wind is playing a part, given freight trains and plenty of short locomotives handling bilevel cars in Amtrak service, but perhaps it's something else? If the F125s have been delivered in some numbers, and Bombardier cars are remaining in service in some numbers - at least I have seen some in fairly recent pictures, in mixed consists which they were supposed to as far as I understand - I'm really thinking that their lack of us as well as the fact that the IE extension to South Perris is still listed by many sources as "in planning" that Metrolink is facing cost overruns and funding reductions. I'd guess that the state's current focus on freeway improvements throughout much of Metrolink's area of operations has negatively impacted its prospects for continued state funding.
