Coaster F40s

The Coast Rail Express (COASTER) of San Diego County has a small, but reliable locomotive fleet. The backbone and majority of COASTER's motive power is five F40PHM-2C built by Morrison-Knudsen, now Motive Power Incorporated. Unlike Amtrak's F40s, COASTER's F40s were lengthened to allow for a seperate HEP system that is not directly attached to the prime mover which increases fuel efficiency and savings.

As a San Diegan, I would love to have a Coaster F-40 in Train Simulator.

 

Me too. And There's another reason is that The Coaster F40PH-2C's have Desktop Controls.

 

This is a great idea. It would provide more scenario potential on Pacific Surfliner.
