Passenger Trains > Fullerton, CA - three different 'trains' (rail vehicles)Date: 06/09/19 16:42 Fullerton, CA - three different 'trains' (rail vehicles) Author: casco17 These are all from Fullerton, CA this morning
1. LA - bound Metrolink train with engineer climbing into cab 2. Track inspection on the Metrolink stub track 3. #3 Southwest Chief arriving around 10:15am. I was picking up some family members who rode in from New Mexico; they did not mind the delay too much because they were able to see Cajon Pass and other areas in daylight.

Is that where 3751 parks occasionally? Yes, and other stored rolling stock. Like PHall said, it connects to the stub house tracks. Telephoto effect plus the rails bases & ties have a lot of ballast cover making them look even smaller. Those Main rails do look huge tho. |
