MPI MP36PH-3S
editI think we should make this article about MPI MP36PH-3 in general by including Metra's MP36PH-3S and have the C and S varients as subsections. --Will74205 10:31, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Operators
editI removed MBTA from the list of operators. They have requested bids for the construction of new locomotives, but have not yet ordered any from MPI or any other manufacturer. MBTA3247 (talk) 23:00, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
MP40PH-3C re-engine
editIt's interesting and worth looking into. I'll probably update this when I get home. Fan Railer (talk) 15:48, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
Another reference link. Fan Railer (talk) 15:50, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
- Hurray, both were not working.--107.0.69.23 (talk) 13:34, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
SunRail MP36PH-3C with non-enclosed body
editFirst picture!
If someone would like to include it into the page

- Great picture! But that's an MP32PH-Q. It was rebuilt from a former MARC engine.--2600:1001:B01E:125D:C124:9D46:EE72:71DB (talk) 19:49, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Capitol Corridor
editOkay, what is going on with this thing with the Capitol Corridor? I made one of the changes to include it, but it seemed to me that they were using F59PHIs that were mistaken as MPXpress. The equipment section of the article says MP36's were used prior to 2012. Can anyone confirm/clarify? --Natural RX 14:50, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
- It says that Caltrain engines and rolling stock are sometimes used as substitutes during peak periods. I have nothing that could specifically refute that and it would seem to be plausible.Sturmovik (talk)
- On a handful of occasions the Capitol Corridor has borrowed a locomotive from Caltrain when too much equipment was out of service or leased an entire trainset during the busy Thanksgiving weekend. That doesn't make Capitol Corridor a regular operator of the MPXpress. It's not their equipment, they just rented it for a few days. The issue is, we've had an IP editor who repeatedly removed Caltrain from the list of operators and replaced it with Capital Corridor, without any supporting citation. I asked for semi-protection in an effort to stop the unconstructive edits. --RickyCourtney (talk) 14:06, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
- Agreed. Thanks for that. --Natural RX 18:24, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
