AMTK Cab Car 9631 on San Diegan 576 approaching Santa Fe Station in San Diego, CA on September 10, 1988. Looks like a crew member had to get down and throw a spring switch.

It took me a few minutes to see that. I see a few pictures of that Freight warehouse before. And I didnt notice it until now Jerry Martin Los Angeles, CA Central Coast Railroad Festival Date: 09/27/16 07:51 Re: Some More Amtrak Odds and Ends Author: Frank30 Great Shots, three of which have a question attached: #1 engine 951, is that a standard width door, gosh that looks very narrow to accommodate some of the wide
engineers I've seen on TO. #4 The freight tunnel: Is the concrete bridge going over the tracks a vehicular bridge? And the tunnel is that a double deck tunnel with perhaps outbound freight on the lower level OR for vehicles to enter upper tunnel if that is on a STREET level? #5: Is 9631 a converted Metroliner? Thanks for the thought--provoking scenes. Frank30 Date: 09/27/16 10:04 Re: Some More Amtrak Odds and Ends Author: MartyBernard #5, yes, look at the trucks compared to the Amfleet trucks.

In a later time as seen here , In the Former North Yard at 8th Street in LA, Ca is the 9631, getting ready to be sent to a Back Shop  |
