[unionpacificrr]

haha

[Danapeople]

sometimes for fast trains it helps to right down the engine number like in ur phone or somethin, ive done it before

[unionpacificrr]

Haha yeah that's usually what I do, for some reason I forgot this time. I was probably too involved with taking pictures of the freight to remember to look.

[Metrarailboy1]

I see those F40PHs can still hual ass.

[unionpacificrr]

Oh yeah, definitely.

[pdwman]

I dont get why people dont come here more often. Where else are you gonna see 3-4 different kinds of F40PH's in regular service?

[Danapeople]

lol

[amtk122]

damn, thats freaking cool

[unionpacificrr]

Yeah, I think Caltrain is one of the only railroads that actually has this feature, since most of the others have just an unchangeable number on the nose. Caltrain's in an LED screen which you can change, kinda like a bus.
