Passenger Trains > Surfliner Snafu?Date: 11/26/21 13:33 Surfliner Snafu? Author: Zephyr Anyone have any information on 765, 774 and 777 today which all show "Service Disruption"? Looks like 765 made it to Chatsworth and then disappeared from the Amtrak "radar". 774 previously showed "Service Disruption" and now 777 shows same thing.

Check the Amtrak Alerts Twitter feed for details. Posted from iPhone Date: 11/26/21 14:14 Re: Surfliner Snafu? Author: walstib This is the latest:

Author: Zephyr Wasn't aware of an Amtrak Twitter feed, so thank-you for pointing me in the correct direction. Looks like there were a number of "mechanical failures" today associated with these trains. Siemens Snafu?

is it from lack of maintenance, an unusual coincidence, or something else? 66 Date: 11/27/21 12:34 Re: Surfliner Snafu? Author: Sp1110 Does Amtrak regret selling the F59PHIs to Metra?

They were on a lease and then sub-leased to California. The lease expired and the lessor did not offer any renewal. Date: 11/27/21 14:42 Re: Surfliner Snafu?

Does Amtrak California not own any Comet Business Class cars? Do they use a Budd Metroliner cab car on the Comet train when the F40PHs are unavailable? Posted from iPhone Edited 1 time(s).
