Passenger Trains > is there an Amtrak locomotive with "Go Dodgers"?

My sister wants to know where she can get a pic of the Amtrak locomotive that has "Go Dodgers" on the nose.  She was talking to some people on the Coast Starlight and they said that an Amtrak locomotive with "Go Dodgers" oin the nose was on the front of their train.  I''ve searched for it and I'm not finding such a thing at Amtrak or Metrolink.  Thanks for any help you can give me!

Edit: now she says the train it was on was blue and white.  That tells me Metrolink.  I don't see a mention of it in a search.

Metrolink would make more sense. An Amtrak loco could likely wind up in the Bay Area, or some other metropolitan area, and not be too well received.

Blue and white would make it one of the endangered F59's. They still have a few in service at this time but who knows for how long?

Thinking it might have been the electronic destination sign on the front of a Pacific Surfliner charger.

Slightly off topic but yesterday while at Cajon Summit, I saw this truck westbound on Highway 138.

That wouldn't be too popular down in San Diego...

But if it's an LA based crew.....
Besides I don't recall seeing the Padres on any of the recent scores 🤔

The Go Dodgers sign is on one of the Surfliner Chargers front destination sign. It's most likely one of the many unauthorized custom entries that was put in before management locked down the program. Another notable entry is Honolulu.

Thanks for the reply, also INTLRAILTRAVELLER.  I'll let her know.  Anyone got a photo?

Hopefully a decent crew uses a switch broom to scrape garbage vandalism off the nose.

Maybe Amtrak should do Locomotive and car wraps. Of various sporting teams around the US.
It might be popular for a few people who don't live in the area. And see a wrap of a home team going by them
