Passenger Trains > P42 Shortage in LA?Date: 07/02/08 11:16 P42 Shortage in LA? Author: Amtk509 I've noticed that over the past week or so, 14 has gone by the Dunsmuir cam. with only one P42 in the consist. The second unit has been either an F59 or B32. Are a bunch of the LA based P42's down for major repairs at the moment or have they ended up elsewhere in the system?

The trigger for the current period of wandering seems to have been the flood disruptions on the West Coast to Chicago routes. Date: 07/02/08 13:18 Re: P42 Shortage in LA? Author: PWB F59PHI450 Wrote:

Todays Coast Starlight had 114 & 96! Date: 07/02/08 14:50 Re: P42 Shortage in LA? Author: usmc1401 Did the 119 get repaired yet.
