Nice- the locations that are right under our noses, but are rarely photographed.

Years ago (late 80's) Mertz used to take off in his little biplane (a Pitts?) and buzz alongside the Coast Starlight- inverted! 
Passengers were always astonished.  Actually, it was pretty cool...

Love the bridge shot, rare post, nice work, glad to see at least a little freight still running over there.

Yeah, I worked on the Coast Starlight fairly regularly for about 4yrs (1998-2001) and saw him do this a couple of dozen times.
