Thought I would share a few pics, most of them taken at or on my way to work.
First off, #3751 spent a few days at Union Station LA a few weeks back.
Here is a shot of 3751 outside the office.

Some good shots, Ray, thanks for posting those. Always great when you can work around an area that interests you like that. Plenty to see railroad wise I'm sure. Easy railfanning at it's best.

I have to check my photos as I believe there might be more sisters engines in that series. These units are currently leased to Metrolink and sat at track 13 forever. Metrolink now runs engines on both ends of their commuter cars, a lesson they learned after the latest crash in ventura.
I'm not sure about #3751 but it may have been Botchman. I know they have something similar at least.

This was taken at Metrolink's Central Maintenance Facility, located on the old Southern Pacific Taylor Yard.
