Dwarfing The Coast Starlight
Author: walstib

The Coast Starlight is dwarfed by its surroundings as it approaches the Jalama Creek trestle yesterday afternoon in rural Santa Barbara County.

You can make the whole run from SLO-LAX with only one unit online.  You only lose a couple of minutes running time in a couple of sections.  However, this photo shows two units on the train.

Was that an F59 or de-motored "Cabbage"? hard to tell.

The part of the Coast Starlight route where I feel like I'm riding the Jolly Green Giant's (or maybe Paul Bunyan's) Lionel set is going between Klamath Falls and Eugene in Oregon. Those mountains really make the train look small.
