After Metroliner time, they were used as cab cars on the San Diegans. Ended the need to do turnarounds at both LA and San Diego ends.

The turnaround at San Diego end was a pain as the train had to be pushed back to the wye at Washington St, a distance of about two miles. Limited the number of trains per day on the line. Another factor was how much of the line was single tracked (a lot back in the 80s).
