Coaster F40PHM-2C Locomotive Farewell

Not only goes an iconic locomotive, but so does coaster's rather iconic livery too.

Yes

[@catnipleaf8680]

They’ve served San Diego well for the last two and a half decades. While it’s sad to see them go, the chargers are undoubtedly a worthy replacement for these locomotives. Farewell, F40s. Your contributions won’t be forgotten.

[@YukariAkiyama]

Well said!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Indeed they have. Thanks for watching!

[@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory]

worthy replacement Siemens Chargers are not worthy. The Siemens Charger looks like a cheap car imported from Europe. The streamlining cuts off at the front, and it kind of resembles a city bus that sad people ride with the deatination sign on the front.

[@YukariAkiyama]

@@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory Yes, the chargers look weird, but I’d rather have new trains that are more efficient than a super duper pretty train that’s old and worn. You’ll get used to it

RIP Coaster F40s. Seeing this reminded me that Caltrain’s F40’s will also be withdrawn next year pending electrification. As the MPI36PH-3C’s are more fuel-efficient and newer, they will likely be the last remaining Diesel Electrics on Caltrain for the remaining un-electrified service. It’s sad to see Coaster’s F40’s be withdrawn, may they rest in peace. Thanks for the video!

My mum luckly took a picture in time. Never got to see them after that. Now the only closest thing I have is ACEX F40phs, what only oporate on the Last Train for the Morning rush, and the Last train for the Evening Rush. Its also a double header with ACEX 3103 trailing and ACEX 3105 leading. Nice video!
