Passenger Trains > Caltrain Holiday Train Sneak PreviewDate: 11/27/24 19:44 Caltrain Holiday Train Sneak Preview Author: milepost20 Caltrain's Holiday Train is presently parked on depot track 12 in San Francisco in preparation
for its run down the Peninsula next weekend(Dec. 7-8). The schedule of the stops to be made: https://www.caltrain.com/holiday-train/stops Bring new, unwrapped gifts! The consist of this year's train: • F40PH-2C's 922 and 921 • Gallery cars 3856 and 3859 • Flat cars 711 and 712 • Bay window caboose 598   Date: 11/27/24 19:45 Re: Caltrain Holiday Train Sneak Preview Author: milepost20 It seems unlikely the two galleries will be retained and not be shipped with the rest of the
fleet to Peru. Caltrain has a large surplus of Bombardiers and a couple could easily take over next year.   Date: 11/27/24 19:47 Re: Caltrain Holiday Train Sneak Preview Author: milepost20 An updste on the dead storage inventory in San Francisco:
• 17 of the 20 F40PH's(all but 915, 917 and 918) • AEM-7's 929 and 938 • 5 Gallery cars • Bay window caboose 599    Date: 11/27/24 20:33 Re: Caltrain Holiday Train Sneak Preview Author: coach That AEM7 looks really, really good in that CALTRAIN paint scheme! I wonder if those engines will ever see use??
Why do the locomotives, which we now know are headed for Peru, are missing numberboards and headlights??

I'd guess they were collected by crew members.

And since they're going away they'll probably never be replaced.
