Exactly 1 month to the day I went here to Miami International Airport Station, I would upload the final video I took on the platform here. And it would be me walking around F40PH 809, which with this said, I would have seen and gotten close-up shots of all 5 of Tri-Rail's F40PHs all in a single day. And this F40 here would push our train back north for me to return back to Delray Beach, where it unfortunately would be problematic, having issues and stalling out twice, once at Opa-Locka Station, and again at Golden Glades Station. We were over 30 minutes late as a result.

809 was distinctly known in the past back when it was Unrebuilt for its unique number boards compared to the other units, but now, it has become known for being basically the "head honcho" of the fleet, having been the first unit to be filmed testing after returning from Rebuild in December 2020, then having been the first one of them to have led a train in service in May 2021, and then later being the most prominent unit to first wear the F40 Wrap in February 2022 (though it wasn't actually either the first to receive it or to run in it). It was also the unit that was involved in the August 27, 2022 Derailment, which despite being at the rear, it went out of service for a month before returning again. Its P5 is pretty average for what it's worth.
