Posted by EL ROCO Photography on January 18, 2019  My understanding is that this Metra Cabcar was purchased with the other five coaches (there might also be a sixth one at Campo in addition to the one pictured) from UP by the Carrizo Gorge Railway around the time the F units at Jacumba were obtained for commuter service in Mexico. Consequently, when the project fell through, the Cabcar somehow made it to Campo and the rest got stored at Dubbers where the copper scavengers, and later, the taggers and vandals found them.
