Harsco F-40PH RMS-7 @Calwa CA 1-2003 Another mystery. These are two different units. One at each end of train but they apparently have the same #. Also, are they ex Amtrak or are they the ex Speno F-38's (F-40PH with non-turbocharged engine)?

The reason this post is "different" is that nowhere else along this line did I see a pole which such a whimsical cap. I have no idea what this is all about and I don't care. It is idiosyncratic, it's cute — that's enough.

Bike path on the one former railroad line. There are now no more rails, but a flawless asphalt surface for cyclists and inline skaters.
