"What's this photo doing in the Caltrain gallery?" you may be asking yourself. Well, these are ex-SP GP9's 3842 and 3833. They were bought from SP by a company in San Francisco called "Power Fluid and Metals", which is leasing the locomotives to Amtrak, who is in turn employing them on Caltrain's line for work-train service. Note the Caltrain-style ditch lights on the front and rear of the locomotives. Thanks to Neil Gross for the info.
