Passenger Trains > A rare site at LAUS yesterday.Date: 07/15/18 20:28 A rare site at LAUS yesterday. Author: GP25 Before the Start of the Rail Summer Fest. Or whatever they called the event at LA Union Station Yesterday.
I had a rare chance to get an Amtrak Train and a LA Metro Gold Line Train together in one shot. Amtrak Train 572 came in to LAUS on Track 4. Normally Amtrak Trains are on Trains 8 through 14. It would have been nice, if the Cabbage unit on point and leading out of Union Station.

Author: andersonb109 Wondering if there is a wide enough yellow stripe and warning signage on the platform. Is all of that really necessary? Do people not know what the tracks are there for?
Date: 07/16/18 03:12 Re: A rare site at LAUS yesterday. Author: andersonb109 They don't look like they held up well in the Washington crash compared with other Amtrak equipment. The large windows however are a welcome improvement over what we have in the midwest.

I know but it still does not make any sense to compare those cars to the crash in Washinton State. Date: 07/17/18 09:30 Re: A rare site at LAUS yesterday. Author: darkcloud .

They really don't want to win the case but are after a nice fat settlement. The result is that many public transit agencies go a bit overboard on their ADA complience to avoid these nuiscence lawsuits. |
