Western Railroad Discussion > Metrolink F125 in ArizonaDate: 02/19/17 19:11 Metrolink F125 in Arizona Author: slug96 On Sunday, Feb. 19, Metrolink's newest locomotive, EMD F125 SCAX 911, is being transported by the BNSF Railway across Northern Arizona. I was lucky enough to catch it at Angell and Cosnino, before the lighted faded away. Good luck to those trying to catch in LA tomorrow!
Thanks for looking!    Date: 02/19/17 19:13 Re: Metrolink F125 in Arizona Author: Railbaron Any idea why it's being moved in a special move rather than as a trailing unit on a regular train?
