Amtrak Coast Starlight Trains in Southern California - Sep 2014

Here is a collection of shots of Amtrak's Coast Starlight train in action at various locations in So Cal. Most of the clips were filmed in the city of Santa Barbara. Some of the other locations include Camarillo, Goleta, and Simi Valley.
Watch in HD!!
Train #1...Northbound Coast Starlight #14 races through Pleasant Valley Rd in Camarillo on Friday, Sep 19th. Solid K5LA on lead P42DC #83! Surfliner F59PHI #452 assists the train today.
Train #2...Same train as previous shot, chased it up to State St in downtown Santa Barbara. More awesome K5LA action from AMTK 83!
Train #3...P42DC #163 and Dash 8 #503 power Amtrak 14 across Milpas St in Santa Barbara on 9/20/14.
Train #4...Side shot of previous train taken at a private crossing in Goleta.
Train #5...P42DC #88 and P42DC #183 lead the southbound Coast Starlight into the Santa Barbara station on 9/21/14, running about 20 minutes early!
Train #6...Same train, now departing Santa Barbara. This train met northbound Amtrak #777 right after it passed me.
Train #7...Amtrak #14 at Milpas St on 9/22/14.
Train #8...Same train as previous, I chased it up to a location off Las Positas Rd. Nice engineer, giving me a shave and a haircut horn salute!
Train #9...Southbound Amtrak #11 arrives and departs Simi Valley on 9/22/14 running about 30 minutes late. P42DC #83 once again provides some excellent K5LA sound! A couple private cars bring up the rear too.
Thanks for Watching!

Great videography. I really wish they could speed this darn train up as it crawls along on many stretches.

[@SWChief34]

Killer video yo!! This is a great compilation, nice shots! Also, you got some pretty good horns in this one, too! I'm definitely going to have to favorite this for sure ;-)

[@AmtrakCal462]

Thanks a lot G! Appreciate that! I wish I could film the Starlight more often than I do. I was on a mini vacation that weekend so I figured I'd take advantage of it! ;-)

Looks like #163 has a bolder font for her road numbers on the carbody at 2:17... hmmm...

[@GintaPPE1000]

Siren @ 5:17's probably because someone got a seizure after hearing that ear rape 88 has for a horn. And I thought the 89-day-past-overhaul Wolverine units sounded bad...

[@MiddleTennesseeRailProductions]

Yeah. Really. Sounds worse than #116 when I caught her back in Carbondale, IL in April of '11. 3 of her bells were dead and she sounded pretty much like a UTA Frontrunner, except not as overblown of course... lol
