Are they the same as the the amtk F40PH's that had an HEP gen that was noisy as hell in the station because it had to keep a high RPM at all times? |

No. Tri-Rail bought three F40PH-2C's from Morrison-Knudsen. They were built new with a rebuilt EMD prime mover and a Caterpillar engine for HEP. |

Trains 97/98 Silver Meteor don't make the Tampa diversion.Sleepers seem to bounce back and forth between front and rear. My wife and I rode 92 Silver Star from Tampa to Philly last June. The baggage car was behind the second engine and our sleeper was next. |

The first time I ever saw ditch lights was on Tri-Rail at Hollywood shortly after their start-up. It was dusk and I had no idea what was coming towards me other than "a triangular shaped very bright light"...and that's what I told the guys from UFO Hunters! My house is now lined with aluminum foil to keep the death rays out. Wasn't kidding about the ditch lights. |

I forgot they were getting the new trains, but they're just using one end car? I thought it was going to be a whole train.Wonder if the view from up there is better, but with the large windows at that angle, and the sun, must get mighty warm. |
