    Hi everyone, just out of curiosity I am wondering what the liveries are on the San Diego Commuter Rail F59PHI Loco Add-On and the Los Angeles Commuter Rail F59PH Loco Add-On because they're unbranded in the game. I've attached 2 pictures of the locomotives I'm talking about.

    I think the Los Angeles Commuter Rail F59PH is from Metrolink based on my google searches but I'm not 100% sure.

    The bottom is Metrolink. The top is supposed to be Coaster but doesn't really look much like it

    NP, it's probably a bit confusing looking them up, as both Metrolink and Coaster have adopted newer paint schemes and/or equipment since those 2 DLCs came out. DwCke7fUYAAXxF_.jpg COASTER_Trainset_at_Cardiff-by-the-Sea.jpg

    Pretty certain they've always belonged to Metrolink

    EDIT:
    OK, here's what Wikipedia says.
    72 F59PH locos made in total. 49 to GO Transit, between 1988 and 1994. 23 to Metrolink, between 1992 and 1993.

    GO Transit retired theirs from 2008. Most were sold off to other commuter rail, including 10 to Exo (Montreal), 3 to Metra (Chicago), 11 to NCDOT (North Carolina) and 7 to Trinity (Florida). 5 of the NCDOT ones were de-engined and used as cab control units. Presumably the last 18 GO units were scrapped?
    Metrolink rebuilt seven of their units into F59PHR. Of the others, five were purchased by NCDOT, the rest presumably scrapped?
