Metrolink & Caltrain P2s no more!

It appears the FRA finally caught up with Caltrain. :TUP2:

The P2s on the cabcars are now roof-mounted & operating at full PSI, and sound much louder & clearer.

On the other hand, with the F40s, their K5LAs had their 1, 4A & 5 bells removed, & were reversed in 2001.

Well, now they've turned them forwards again, and are using these K2s consisting of the 2 & 3A bells.

They sound a dischord, and aren't as pleasant as the new P2s.

Hopefully, Metrolink is next!

Sounds like they tried to make a K2LA out of a K5LA.Awful.
