On a Friday night, a friend and I rode train 224 for its full run, Santa Clarita to LAUPT. I had recently picked up a suction-cup window mount from Joby, and decided to shoot an out-the-window video to document the majority of the ride. Sadly due to the desired spot being occupied and lighting, I was not able to begin filming from the designated spot until Sylmar/San Fernando station. However, I still managed to film a brief portion of Santa Clarita to Newhall, though the horn/bell is not very audible, so if you would like to experience the entire run from the designated spot (at the very front of the cab), skip to 8:51 into the video. I hope you enjoy this unique add-on the the channel, and I plan to continue with this type of filming for various trains to come.
Metrolink Train 224: Originates midway through the Metrolink Valley Subdivision at Santa Clarita, terminates and turns back from LA as Train 223.
Rotem Cabcar (SCAX) #647
F59PHR (SCAX) #868
As of last year, the conductor aboard this train had passed away. He always had a sense of happiness when riding and talking on the radio, it was sad when the news first came. May he rest in peace.
Thanks for watching!
