Excellent image, JB!

That's nice Joe and an appropriate number on the F40 three days after our Nations birthday.

Great photo!  I believe that was only a month or two after the start of Amtrak San Diegan service north of LA to Santa Barbara.  I recall going to my Naval Reserve drill weekend at Pt. Mugu in May of '91 and seeing my first San Diegan on the line between Camarillo and Oxnard.  Before that, the Coast Starlights were the only regular passenger trains on that part of the CA coast (in the 70s and 80s) - apart from the short lived SP Oxnard to LA commuter trains of the early 80s.

Quite a bit different nowadays - with a high number of Amtrak and Metrolink trains between LA and points north.

Really nice !
