Author: PasadenaSub Just watched on the Santa Clara (CA) railcam the passing of today's Amtrak southbound Coast Starlight #11. A surprise was FRA car DOTX 221 right behind the power (Chargers 321 and 353) at 10:45am today.
Heads up to those who might catch it further south. Here's a couple captures from the railcam. Rich   Date: 09/30/25 11:38 Re: DOTX 221 (FRA) car on Amtrak Starlight 11 (29) down coast tod Author: DupyRail They are occasional visitors on #7/8. Last time thru here that I saw was Aug 6th on #8.
