Nice video! I didn’t know that Martinez was getting a pedestrian bridge over the tracks. Also, man is 2104’s K5LA really foul I’m surprised it happened so quick!
Average_ Joe Thank you ! Yes, the pedestrian bridge was originally part of the station plan alongside the current building back in 2001, but it was held off for quite some time. It was only just installed in January of this year; though it still wasn’t completed and open for use at the time I visited. They’ve been taking quite a while to finish this project imho. And yeah, same here ! I’m curious as to what made #2104’s horn foul up so soon, haha !
Allison Reithmeier They aren’t as rare as they used to be due to the continually increasing ridership. I have seen 7 car consists before during the peak Thanksgiving and other holiday travel rushes, but those still remain rare. In terms of operations, one locomotive is generally limited to a maximum of 7 cars unless otherwise noted. Anything greater generally requires a second locomotive to be added to the consist.
I don’t like it when there is a lot of coaches because when it stops at Fremont it has to pull through the crossing, make a lot of noise, and hold up traffic.
4:40 is the Coast Starlight (Southbound) 18:05 is the California Zephyr (Eastbound) I also have the train numbers in the description if additional info is needed.
Now since you have finish all of the Amtrak stations in Northern California, Are you gonna railfanning the Pacific Surfliner/Metrolink Stations at Chatsworth-Los Angeles?
Pacific Zone Railfan Thank you ! That would’ve likely have been the trainset from Amtrak 711 that terminated at Merced due to locomotive bearing problems. Did you happen to see if there was an Amtrak locomotive behind the BNSF lead ? Or did it have the BNSF and just the passenger cars ?
Parker McCormack Thank you ! It is a Viewliner Dining Car. This car is used to accommodate the recently implemented minimum count of 28 axles for proper activation of crossing signals.
