Western Railroad Discussion > Westbound Metrolink F59

Seen this evening at 21:17 on the Needles Railcam. Anyone know where it is going?
Be of good cheer,

LTEX 857, on the westbound Q-NWHLAC6-19A, BNSF 7443 is the lead motor. Computer shows the LTEX motor to be "setout at Los Angeles, CA".

Current ETA to Los Angeles, CA is 0907 on 4/23/24. I'd bet that falls behind a few more hours, train is still at Goffs, CA at 2310 PDT.

(edit...)
Checking a couple recent Youtube videos... this former Metrolonk unit was being stored at Keller Yard in Downtown Los Angeles with LTEX letters on the sides. But apparenly was finally shipped east to Ohio about a month or so go. Only to now return to So Cal with the LTEX ownership stencils remaining...  No clue whats going on.

Saw it leaving Hobart on an eastbound about a week, maybe week and a half ago?  Cant remember the day.  Wonder what the issue is.

Maybe it was misrouted.

Foreign locomotive moves are comical. My bet is it is taking a tour of the BNSF until someone looks on a map and figures out where Ohio is.

Saw it westbound at Fullerton.
