Western Railroad Discussion > Two Starlights and an ACE

Today's foaming adventure yielded a trio of shots.

First stop was the San Jose depot, where the Coast Starlight is just pulling into Track 1 on the far right. A couple of tracks to the left, a Capitol Corridor has just arrived. And in the foreground, a northbound Caltrain is just arriving from the Tamien Station in San Jose.

Second stop is Alviso, where we see ACE 4, the 3:35 p.m. departure from San Jose, head north through the mudflats. It is headed for Stockton. I recently acquired a 400mm lens and this was the first time I used it at Alviso.

The third and final stop of the day was Aromas in Monterey County, where I caught a tardy Coast Starlight going through town.

Those are some nice photos! That 400 mm lens
seems to work well for ya. Thanks for posting
these here.

Nice shots! The depot in San Jose has changed a lot since I lived there a long time ago. I'm guessing you shot #1 from the San Carlos Street bridge?

Yup, from San Carlos Street.
