I can confirm that it was cab 608 damaged back in 2003, when it ended up on it's side after colliding with the truck at
Buena Vista St. crossing. Coach 184 was never received my Metrolink as it was wrecked in-transit from the factory. 185 is the coach wrecked in Chatsworth.

DON'T cross into Tijuana. It's a dangerous city from what I have heard. Take the Blue Line to San Ysidro, take your pics, and then take the next one back to San Diego. I have ridden to San Ysidro, and I wasn't all that thrilled with the scenery. You pass by a lot of the ports in San Diego, and warehouses. You run closely parallel to I-5 for a lot of the route.

Metrolink bought (leased?) them but hasn't used them yet.
