octabusfan92 Posted Monday at 04:34 AM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 04:34 AM So looks like Anaheim has finally retired the rest of their 2007 C40LFRs (besides the Keolis Training units), and Irvine is to follow. The 2008 C40LFRs will still be around, all the 2007s have been retired from the contracted divisions. As a result, 5853-5857 and 5775-5779 have been shifted to Anaheim. Units 5753-5757 that were previously at Anaheim are now at Irvine. Updates: 5129, 5540, 7557, 7561? and 7570 have been retired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
