The LA bound Coast Starlight a few miles south of San Jose in the pre-Superliner days.

Just a decent walk or short bike ride from my old house.  Very cool to see.

Thanks!

In the mid-late 90's there was a control point here called CP Pullman, which had a switch and a few hundred feet of track on photo left of the train. This was to be the lead to a joint Amtrak/Caltrans/Caltrain joint maintenance facility. It was not to be and the track was eventually ripped up.

Actually, I've distracted myself from my real purpose of writing: Gorgeous Photo!
