4K - With the recent delivery and acceptance of four Siemens Charger locomotives, the future is uncertain for the two remaining EMD F59PHI locomotives on the Coaster. After years of deferred maintenance and "state of good repair" neglect by NCTD, it's sad to say these two workhorses sure have seen their better days long ago. While it is not official these two locomotives have been retired, it's safe to say they won't be seeing daily or often use. The future is also uncertain for two of Coaster's brand new Charger locomotives, which are slated to be sold to an unknown organization, due to North County Transit District's budgeting woes.
In this video, you'll see the 3001 and 3002 in action during their final weeks and months in normal service on the Coaster.
All locations and train info listed in the video.
