NEW Coaster Trains and Charger Locomotives

Описание: San Diego County’s Coaster commuter train just got a fresh new look. On February 8th, 2021, North County Transit District began running its brand new SC-44 “Charger” locomotives on all Coaster trains. The Chargers are among the most advanced diesel-electric locomotives on the rails today. They offer significantly improved acceleration over the older equipment as well as quieter running engines and lower exhaust emissions, making the locomotives some of the only passenger diesels currently available that meet strict EPA Tier 4 standards. February 8th also marked the debut of four recently overhauled Bombardier bilevel coach cars, originally built in 1997. The cars received all new interiors with redesigned seat configurations, new seating material, charging outlets, new LED interior lighting, and more. The cars were given improvements to their suspension systems for a better ride quality as well as a brand new scheme. Let’s take a visit to coastal San Diego County to see the newly refreshed train set and brand new Charger locomotives in Coaster commuter train service.
