Western Railroad Discussion > Metro Link Special Running Saturday afternoon????

Anyone see a eastbound Metro Link special departing SBD around 1115AM PT  today?

Going up Cajon Pass?   Very unusual move.  Also, has a UP (yellow car) behind the power with several ML cars in tow.

Any pictures or comments please.....

Surprising what you can find on the passanger board about a passanger train.

Many nice people came into to Carbarn 7 where the SF 98 and SP 1006 are under restoration. They were brought to the carbarn on a shuttle train  consisting of the Museum's #1956--an ex-USA Alco RSD-1 (RSM-1 military--which served overseas in Iran during WW II) and a Montreal car purchased for Thomas service several years ago. I do not know why the bus was not used as advertised unless it was due to the soggy wet grounds at the museum!
