Up the coast today
Author: DRGW5502

I don't get very many post-able moments, but I think I had one today.

Despite all the yellow paint and only one real locomotive in the consist... the last one obviously.

Low tide at El Capitan State Beach (under the trestle), above Santa Barbara, CA. This is where US 101 turns inland for awhile.

Edit- Senior moment- Gaviota, not El Capitan. I should remember, we camped at both!

SP West or UP north of Gaviota. The rear of the train is passing the siding at Gaviota, Calif.

Thanks Chris, not as good as your stuff though.

For the other question...

There was an old SP SD40T-2 last out. Camera battery went dead before I could get off another shot.

Neat location. I've never been lucky enough to catch a train at that spot when I was there except for one I was riding on. Here's a shot off the back of private car Tioga Pass on the back of #11 last Monday as we crossed the Gaviota trestle southbound at sunset.

Cheers!
