Any more updates on this?
Was in LA a couple of weeks ago and noted 25 BNSF locos in the station taking up space on tracks 14 & 15, although track 14 was later cleared. Also noted a handful more locos in the compound not far out of the station plus another at the Metrolink maintenance facility. What exactly is Metrolinks plan? The October/Novemeber newsletter on the official website said it would be a matter of weeks, the December/January newsletter doesn't mention a thing.
If this doesn't happen then I guess BNSF will be after a payment for making available a number of locos and moving them all to LA. Metrolink will then be in for some heavy critisism for wasting money hirng in all these locos for nothing. It appears they really don't know what they are doing. As stated before, just how "dangerous" is it operating these cab cars on trains? It all seems very strange.
