Caltrain 912 waits its turn to depart on a bright August afternoon. JPBX 912 was built in 1985, and is one of the 13 F40PHs that has ben repowered with a Caterpillar engine. The consist behind it is of mixed heritage. Usually, the F40s are paired with the older Nippon Sharyo "Gallery" cars, while Bombardier MP36PHs handle the bombardier coaches, but thats not always the case. The first two Bombardier cars are ex-Metrolink cars, built in 1997. Metrolink took on new equipment in the late 2000s-early 2010s, and sold some of their surplus equipment to Caltrain. The third car wears Caltrain's standard paint for Bombardier cars, grey body with red stripe on the top portion of the car. |
