Passenger Trains > Metrolink F125 #908 in Irvine, CADate: 07/20/17 17:30 Metrolink F125 #908 in Irvine, CA Author: myoungwisc Out and about today and noticed the F125 test train in the hole just South of the Irvine station. Managed to grab a few photos (off of railroad property, of course). They had a security guard posted just out of the frame of the first photo keeping a watchful eye...
