[HD] BNSF AC4400CWs on Metrolink Trains Galore!!!

During the late Spring and Summer seasons, the commuter railroad in Southern California, Metrolink, leased 40 AC4400CW locomotives from the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Co. to enhance safety regulations and to give them the opportunity to further bulk up the new rotem cab cars after the recent incident in Oxnard which frightened many. As a result, these 40 6-axle locomotives took command of the commuter trains, putting them in great use after being stored for awhile. Here you will see a compilation of clips I have shot of these locos operating with Metrolink, and honestly, it was something you had to see. I hope you enjoy the video, and please remember to hit the subscribe button and like this video for more up and coming videos. Stay safe, live life, and keep railfanning!

Cool to see some GE locomotive action on a commuter train, except that they don't have a HEP generator.

When Is BNSF AC4400CW’s Coming Back On Metrolink Trains?

[@TrainShackProductions1790]

Nice compilation!

[@MrRailfanHD]

Sweet vid! I miss the AC4400s :(

[@jmream2618]

MrRailfanHD wouldn't it made more sense to use a dash8 from Amtrak

[@Northwest_Railfan]

MrRailfanHD They needed a lot more. It basically would have taken the entire Amtrak Dash 8 fleet, and Amtrak needs those.

[@AmtrakandAWVRFan]

MrRailfanHD They used 40 BNSF powers. Amtrak only has less than half of that in Dash 8's with 2 being owned by CalTrans for the CC and SJ train usage.

[@USARailProductions]

Thanks, same here. Actually made metrolink interesting to see, but everything comes to an end at some point in time...

[@MrRailfanHD]

They wouldnt use Dash 8s because there are about 20 made, and all 20 all spread out designated to certain yards and to different transportation departments. There is no way they would be able to borrow stuff that is needed. AC4400s were leased because those units hardly see mainline service since the ES44AC/DCs were their replacements. They will only go into service if another lease happened again or if demand shoots up! I think there are plenty of them in service today because of higher demand

[@BobbyCase]

I wish they would stay longer
