And during Thankgiving I guess Amtrak isn't able to have 14 car trains now days.

If this is used, then the equipment has to be split or moved elsewhere waiting for its return. Some years back, when reconstructing the yard, the interlocking was made just south of Ash Street IF my memory is correct. I recall speaking to the then Supt of Amtrak in this regards.
Sure in the old days, Santa Fe could handle 21 cars, but that is history along with lots of other items. Date: 07/20/17 21:06 Re: If you like your Surfliner extra long Author: stanhunter I think ComiCon is going on right now.

It has been widely posted here that the annual San Diego crush of both the Del Mar Racing and Comic Con are going on resulting in extra equipment being put into service.

There was no more room at the south end with cutting off access to the adjacent track, and fueling for the other tracks. At the north end, there was room for on additional passenger car at most.
