Shhh! City moves forward to limit train noise

If the horns from trains passing through Claremont seem a tad quieter than usual, it’s due to a main culprit being taken off the tracks.

Locomotives from the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad—the big, orange engines that have been a fixture in front of Metrolink trains for the better part of the year—have officially been taken off the line, the city announced last week.

The locomotives have been taken off the tracks as of November 1, Metrolink spokesperson Gina Mack confirmed.

Meant to post and link before; yes, the temporary BNSF leaders have been removed and replaced by Rotem cab cars that Metrolink has repaired. Few technical details have escaped (typical Metrolink) but the likely root cause of the Camarillo misperformance was discovered (IIRC bad welds). Metrolink is suing Rotem to recover their repair costs.
