BART, Bay Area Rapid Transit! or something like that. Its out in San Fansico California. I also like CalTrain, It has one dieseal engine on the front and one on the back, and all of their cars were double-deckers. I loved riding those because I've never been in a double-decker before. -----------------------------

BART this !!
BART that !!
my BART is better then your VIA " Canadian " 15 car set
my BART can get around the layout faster than your 65 car CP freight
I wish my name were BART
BART is a little boy with yellow skin

RE: No MARC?!?!
Ok I found pictures of the CalTrain engine, maybe someone can tell me what they are. 
Heres one of the cars it pulls, and I retract my previous statement, theres only one of these engine per train, not two.

RE: No MARC?!?!
Why the big deal?LOTS of locomotive and car fleets have that number.It just happens that the engines on Caltrain are 900-922.Amtrak has 900-953 on their AEM-7's.

RE: No MARC?!?!
I do agree that the paint scheme on Caltrain nowadays IS ugly.They used to have a solid silver body, with the red/white nose striping -- but with attractive light blue and teal striping that angled up in the back (hockey-stick style, but with a little curve in it).However, the red stripe livery HAS improved the looks of the gallery cars these locos haul -- they used to be solid bare metal with black lettering. The addition of the red stripe and the large logo IS an improvement on the cars.

RE: No MARC?!?!
Most of the Caltrain engines are EMD F40PH-2's, units 900-919. Units 920-922 are F40PH-2C's, built by Boise Loco.Many of the EMD's were rebuilt in recent years and had their rear hood extended to house a separate engine for Head End Power to cut down on noise. They look different, but they are still F40PH-2's.
