District to sell two of its newest locomotives and five old passenger cars, as service expansion stalls
North County Transit District is selling five of its Coaster passenger cars and two newly acquired locomotives after a proposed service expansion stalled.
Additional trains were to be added in two phases. The first occurred in October 2021, when the Coaster went from about 22 daily trips to 30 daily trips, with 32 on Fridays and 20 on weekends. A second phase was expected to expand service further to 42 weekday trips, but it was canceled because of the lack of Transnet funding available to help pay for ongoing operations.
“There is really not a big market for these,” he said, but they could be valuable to an agency such as the UTA that already uses that type of vehicle. More money from SANDAG is unlikely in the near future unless county voters approve a new sales tax increase, Tucker said.
