Kevin Bleich General Nice shot!! Any idea why it's on the train or where it's headed to? 6/23/2008 6:41:29 PM

Gregg Bartley General I saw one of these units heading east on the Empire Builder a few months ago, in a similar arrangement to that shown in this picture. I was wondering if it was heading back east to be repaired or something. It didn't seem to be that Sound Transit here in the Seattle area would be loaning out their locos to Amtrak. Besides, the Empire Builder already had three locos on it already, don't know why it would have needed another. This one, I have no idea why it would be down in California... I know that Sound Transit loaned out/leased an entire train set to an outfit back in Virginia. Maybe Sound Transit is in the business of leasing out their extras. 9/9/2008 3:14:52 PM
Paul S. Highland General These units are periodically sent to Amtrak's service facility in Los Angeles. This one is on its way back to Seattle. =PSH 9/11/2008 10:07:01 AM
Ron Moraca General Excellent photo, Paul. I know San Diego has their Coast Starlights, so this must be going down to LA, or somewhere else, for service. 11/4/2008 8:00:27 PM
Stephen Anderson General Some of the Sounder units were leased to VRE for thier commuter service. 9/13/2009 7:58:35 PM
