SCAX 857 • Los Angeles CA • 12/29/23

            Among around two dozen locomotives sitting in deadlines in downtown Los Angeles, in this case in Keller Yard, is Metrolink F59PH 857.  Built by EMD in June 1992 for Southern California Regional Rail Authority (Metrolink), this was the agency's seventh locomotive, and was still in service in August 2019.  This cowl unit only wore two of Metrolink's paint schemes, and I suspect its numberboards as among some railfan's collection at this point.  These deadlines are full of F59PHs, F59PHIs and (two units behind 864) Metrolink 800, the carrier's lone F40PH … plus, at this time, one MP36PH-3C, number 891.
