Passenger Trains > Hotrod SurflinerDate: 12/17/03 19:20 Hotrod Surfliner Author: barrydraper Amtrak 763/784 today was in push/pull mode, with an F59phi at each end. This is due to losing another cab car in the grade crossing accident/derailment on Monday, so no cab car available for this trainset. Damage to the cab car Monday was minor, but with damaged steps and a truck on the ground the car is out of service. 784 still had 5 cars, with a Superliner filling in, and was making good time, early into Glendale with two units for power.
