Western Railroad Discussion > Amtrak, Metrolink, and Beaches (Saying Goodbye)Date: 08/27/14 17:38 Amtrak, Metrolink, and Beaches (Saying Goodbye) Author: BNSF-6432 Here I should be wrapping up the pictures from the venture we took out west at the beginning of August. I thought about posting over to the passenger board (as the majority of this is passenger) but I do have a couple freight stuff in here and it is in the west, so here we go....
First three are all at Chatsworth, CA on Friday August 8th from hanging out at the station all morning. 1) Metrolink 108 heads back to union station while the conductor calls out their signal to depart on 2) Southbound surfliner heads out on a green board pushed by an F59PHi 3) Later into the afternoon, our final catch is southbound metrolink 116 More....

5) We now arrive at San Clemente 6) Our first train is Amtrak 768 southbound along the coast. More...

8) A southbound with a regular superliner making its way to the station 9) Amtrak 462 passes a good number of people enjoying the sun More... Date: 08/27/14 17:59 Re: Amtrak, Metrolink, and Beaches (Saying Goodbye) Author: BNSF-6432 10) Southbound Metrolink leans into the curve with 4 of the newer cars
11) Same train with much more of the Pacific Ocean in the view 12) Northbound comes in from the other side this time with an all blue set of coaches and a P42 More... Date: 08/27/14 18:07 Re: Amtrak, Metrolink, and Beaches (Saying Goodbye) Author: BNSF-6432 13) The last train before we head out is this northbound Metrolink train with a very clean F59PH on the point
14) And finally here comes our northbound with 7 cars that was packed to standing room 15) Riding back to LA we pass a northbound local with the pair of red and silver 60s we shot at Fullerton on Wednesday More...

Date: 08/27/14 18:14 Re: Amtrak, Metrolink, and Beaches (Saying Goodbye) Author: BNSF-6432 16) We finally get back to Chatsworth for the evening and say goodbye to Amtrak 785
17) 785 accelerating out of Chatsworth on green boards 18) First, I never thought I'd hear myself say "Oh yay! A stack train!" But after overdosing off surfliners and commuter trains, we headed out to east LA for some freight action. Here we see a stack train passing Montebello station just as we arrived, not having time to shoot before More.... Date: 08/27/14 18:16 Re: Amtrak, Metrolink, and Beaches (Saying Goodbye) Author: PHall The 873 is a F59PH. The only F40 on Metrolink is the 800.
Date: 08/27/14 18:18 Re: Amtrak, Metrolink, and Beaches (Saying Goodbye) Author: BNSF-6432 19) And 15 minutes later, we are greeted by a stack train coming in with 3 UP units and a KCS belle in the mix
20) And here's out last look of LA at LAX as we depart on Spirit airlines bound for Dallas, TX Thanks for Looking BNSF-6432 PQM Date: 08/27/14 18:53 Re: Amtrak, Metrolink, and Beaches (Saying Goodbye) Author: BNSF-6432 PHall Wrote:

Date: 08/28/14 19:03 Re: Amtrak, Metrolink, and Beaches (Saying Goodbye) Author: the_expediter Last shot Airbusse 340...Nice!- Steve
Date: 08/31/14 20:31 Re: Amtrak, Metrolink, and Beaches (Saying Goodbye) Author: SoCalCynic Love the shot in La Mirada; every day when I ride Metrolink into DTLA, I am always amazed at seeing up to three cabeese parked at the La Mirada office... Not to mention at least one unpatched (or minimally patched) Warbonnet!
