Western Railroad Discussion > Sun setting on the #923Date: 11/28/24 13:26 Sun setting on the #923 Author: weather With their announcement of he Legacy Cal-Train equipment headed to Lima Peru, it will interesting to see what happens the #923. Here it is last night shinning in new paint having just been out shopped by Alshton-Seimens at their Vallejo plant. Earlier in the afternoon it was picked up by the CFNR local and added to Suisun Hauler. I was coming back from SF and the sun was just setting behind the unit on the Schellville main in Suisun coupled to the evening LRG-90 Roseville turn. I only had one opportunity to get the setting sun through the cab. 2nd image is a close-up of the rebuilt/restored engine. Text and photos by Mike Pechner

Any idea what it says on the top of the cab above the door? Date: 11/29/24 13:48 Re: Sun setting on the #923 Author: PasadenaSub Nice photos, the 923 should be retained along with the other MP36s and the newest F40PH-2s for the San Jose-Gilroy diesel service.
The writing on the top of the cab marks the location for emergency cut-away access: https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?4,1610987 Rich Date: 11/29/24 20:34 Re: Sun setting on the #923 Author: weather Thanks to all for the added info.
