Passenger Trains > New Metrolink Engine on 609 at CP Lincoln in Santa AnaDate: 02/21/18 17:42 New Metrolink Engine on 609 at CP Lincoln in Santa Ana Author: Mudrock Date: 02/21/18 20:42 Re: New Metrolink Engine on 609 at CP Lincoln in Santa Ana Author: edsaalig Will we ever see these engines in full service. Were they not to be in service last September?
