Western Railroad Discussion > Circus Train at Yale Avenue in Irvine, CA at 2:30 PMDate: 08/03/15 15:19 Circus Train at Yale Avenue in Irvine, CA at 2:30 PM Author: Mudrock Here is the train heading to San Diego but only going to CP Bake until the Metrolink commuter rush is over.
Chris    Date: 08/03/15 21:10 Re: Circus Train at Yale Avenue in Irvine, CA at 2:30 PM Author: msdgbar Why does it take close to 12 hours for the circus train to do a 105 mile trip from Anahiem to San Diego when i've seen other freight trains do the same trip in about 3 hours? Another post here on T.O. has the trip at about 12 hours. Oh well nice pix anyway Chris.

Date: 08/03/15 22:06 Re: Circus Train at Yale Avenue in Irvine, CA at 2:30 PM Author: Mudrock The train has to fit into a slot after Metrolink commuter train rush. Then the train can do it in a straight shot.

Crummy handling/dispatching between County Line and San Diego is the target answer. Date: 08/04/15 00:07 Re: Circus Train at Yale Avenue in Irvine, CA at 2:30 PM Author: CA_Sou_MA_Agent RetireMe Wrote:

Blood money.
Mr. MRL Date: 08/04/15 08:11 Re: Circus Train at Yale Avenue in Irvine, CA at 2:30 PM Author: agent1522 Nice pictures Chris. Interesting collection of passenger cars, as usual. Unfortuntely, when the train comes to the PNW, BNSF hides it away in Delta Yard making it nearly impossible to photograph and obtain car histories.
