Amtrak 503 on the Surfline Again in 2024 - Nice K5LA!

[@Official5008Creations]

Didn't know so many people came out for 591 that day, either way still cool as hell that 503's back

[@AmtrakCal462]

The foams come out in droves for something as high caliber as this! It only lasted a day, fortunate I was able to get a few shots

[@LuisUrbieta]

Awesome video of Amtrak 503​@@AmtrakCal462

[@spencerhughes2255]

Great shots!

[@AmtrakCal462]

Thanks G!

[@CH_343]

Damn! That K5LA does actually sound VERY good! And oh lawd I love that low and deep rumble at 1:32 you got as he was pulling out! I love that GE sound so much sounds mean and aggressive! NICE video my guy very lucky to see this masterpiece leading definitely one of the better sounding Dash 8’s out there in my opinion horn wise I think 503 sounds better then it did the last time you got it! that shit is crispy!

[@AmtrakCal462]

Thanks for the comment bro! Ya 503 is sick! Sure beats everything else heard on a daily basis on the Surfline... Hell ya! That GE start up chug along with black smoke spewing all over the place!!! Intense foamer moment! 🤤 And ya much better audio this go around with all full blast essentially. The engineer on my previous 503 vid was all quill for the most part

[@collinstrains5176]

Yo awesome vid! I lucked out today and saw him idling at the Santa Fe Depot in San Diego, amazing to stand next to it and photograph it, no horn and bell but its pretty cool for a Jersey Boy! 😅

Nice video like always, 503 is something better then crappy chargers, I was the one at sorrento yesterday.

[@AmtrakCal462]

For sure...Thanks dude

[@blose774]

Amazing that it came back!

[@WH_Railfan84]

Good evening, nice set of catches on this classic leading the Surfliner! Especially that last catch with it rollin' coal! Have a good night.

[@MohammedHasanRaheem]

Great Catches!

[@Amtrak600]

AWESOME VIDEO! Can you post Encinitas and Carlsbad Village in 2002 or 2001? I really wanna see it

[@CoopDog2310]

I was going to go to Sassafras for 591 but i ended up going to Palm

[@LCPotato]

Is there a chance that Amtrak also sent a San Joaquin set to SoCal? I just saw a Horizon set with a Cabbage unit parked at Amtraks LA yard not too long ago. Also nice catch and hope 503 will be around long enough to catch it!

[@AmtrakCal462]

Yes the comet cars are there as a "back up" set in case of emergencies It unfortunately is already off

[@collinstrains5176]

​@@AmtrakCal462 I believe 503 had it's last run today cuz I saw it

[@haydensstrongestengineandr2494]

This train does not have a cab car

[@Railfan-uf9mw]

Also let me point out that both 2051 and 2052 never got overhaul at all what is Amtrak thinking doing with them?!!

[@rms492]

What is the SL lounge being used for?

[@GRFP6903]

@@rms492 overflow and as a cafe car

[@AmtrakCal462]

People! There was no cabcar on this train, so that's 80 less seats this took the place of it

[@Railfan-uf9mw]

Now if we can just get 2051 and 2052 back on the SJ and CC
