Passenger Trains > 49er Game Day -- ACE Football Special

Today there is an afternoon home game for the San Francisco 49ers so there was a morning ACE football special heading from Stockton to Levi Stadium. I headed down to Alviso -- a few miles north of the Santa Clara Great America Amtrak station -- this morning to photograph the ACE special. In the process I caught two Capital Corridor trains as well as a 90 minute late Starlight,

And a h/t to jimB for his posting last Sunday that inspired me to make the drive to Alviso.

First Amtrak 728 on the Guadalupe River bridge
Next Amtrak 727 a few blocks north approaching Alviso
and next a very long Coast Starlight -- looks like four sleepers in addition to the crew dorm car

Very nice, WP17, thanks for posting.

Nice ! Thanks for sharing !

Nice shots, WP17, glad to have provided an idea. How was the traffic on game day? I actually ran into Seahawks traffic today since I'm visiting Seattle!

Alviso is still a fun place to shoot photos.
