Great image!

For some reason, it almost looks like a model railroad to me.

I spent a short time working for Amtrak in Los Angles in 1989 before hightailing it back to Oakland. They told us that the cab cars were considered unreliable, so push-pull trains would leave LA with the cab car leading. That way the engine would be lead for the return trip in case the cab cab was bad-ordered at the turn around point (in this case Santa Barbara). Kind of sums up the Amtrak experience ...
