Steam in the cab? Anyone know what was going on here?
After taking a metrolink train back to LA, I then drove to SB later that night for some night shots. For 15 minutes or so the crew fired up the dynamo and powered the lights. Thanks guys! 14. Side view 15. Beautiful sight at night Date: 04/16/14 05:53 Re: Twice to San Bernardino in one day for 3751 Author: kurt765 16. Front view as a double stack freight thunders by
17. Wide view with the station I had a lot of fun riding the train for once (instead of my usual chase). Everything was super smooth and I think we even arrived 10 minutes early to San Bernardino. I'm not sure I ever expected to go twice to San Bernardino and back in one day (via rail and car) but I'm glad I made the effort to get the night shots. I thought I would be too late to be there when they turned on the lights but as it turned out I arrived just a few minutes before that. I hope you've enjoyed the pics.

Thank you.

like the one you took from the Ocean View that showed the old car at the grade crossing -- perfect! Date: 04/16/14 10:37 Re: Twice to San Bernardino in one day for 3751 Author: kurt765 Margaret_SP_fan Wrote:

The shot out the window of the old car was actually as I was walking through the train. It was on the other Amtrak car I think. -K Date: 04/16/14 16:36 Re: Twice to San Bernardino in one day for 3751 Author: mwarfel Nice view of Tioga Pass through the dome window tailing the consist! Great paint job, Norm!
