Went by 8th Street on Friday and saw they had a spare PPC with the yard power. Guessing they used that one.

Looks like it is about to duck under Topanga Canyon Blvd. or the last of the three tunnels. This is about 60 seconds from where the Metrolink incident occurred. Also "Snuffy's Cat Productions" posted a video of this tardy # 11 rolling through the Glendale area on You Tube sign with link today along with that single level 7 car Surfliner which I believe was 1761. Correct me if that train number was wrong. I can only imagine how the passengers are responding to this assuming some did not "jump ship" and either fly or maybe catch a bustitution if they ran one to help keep those on time who needed to be. But for now let is pretend this is the Amtrak reincarnation of the SP "Lark" in Superliner cars abut 44 years or so later.
