San Joaquin Troubles Today
Author: SF3751

Looks like 702 had some mechanical troubles sometime today, and from what I can tell its been combined with 712's set. This means no 715 to head back north, just a double-setted 717 train set. Heads up.

Amtrak 702 - 3 1/2 Hours late
Amtrak 712 - 1 Hour, 55 mins late

Both show to have departed Corcoran at the same time, currently approaching Wasco. The lateness will most likely effect the turn-around time for the train set(s) as well.

By chance I was waiting for a client at WE Fig Garden, saw the signal and knew something was coming. All I had was my iPhone, but shot whatever was coming anyways. I was shocked to see it but figured I'd find out what the deal was from TO when I got home. I also figured you'd be the one with the info.

So as luck would have it Alex, you don't always miss things in the valley after moving away :)

Went over to the Amtrak Station in Bakersfield to get some shots.
