| Sounder cars mix well with the eclectic mix of VRE equipment. The RP39-2C began life as Seaboard Coast Line GP40 1635 (later SBD and CSX 6789). Morrison Knudson's rebuilt the unit in 1991. As to the Sounder Bombardier bi-levels, when Sounder started they ordered enough equipment to service all their proposed runs, but BNSF trackage rights issues weren't resolved, and much of Sounder's equipment is out on lease (to VRE, Metrolink, and West Coast Express). |
