Amtrak Dash-8 503 leads a Pacific Surfliner in 2023!! Railfanning Moorpark 11/11-11/12/23

Thought it would never happen again, and it does. Amtrak 503 was tasked to rescue a broken down #769, which the charger was having HEP issues with. There are also some other trains that I saw thrown in.
Thank you for watching!
Train 1: SCAX Rotem Cab Car #641 leads train M164 to Los Angeles
Train 2: AMTK Cab Car #6907 leads train A784 to San Diego
Train 3: AMTK P32-8BWH #503 leads train A769 to Oxnard
Train 4: CDTX SC-44 Charger #2109 leads train A777 to San Luis Obispo
Train 5: SCAX Rotem Cab Car #655 leads train M164 to Los Angeles
Train 6: CDTX Cab Car #6953 leads train A790 to San Diego with AMTK #503 and CDTX 2120 trailing

Say what you want about the old Trash-8s, but the fact that 503 is back plying the same rails she did in the 90s doing the same work she was built to is a real testament of the beast she really is. Rock on 503, keep on surfin'!

[@railfanryan]

True words. I always love seeing Dash 8s in service. Too bad their Coast Starlight days are over with the takeover of the Chargers.

I love how clean 503 looks it looked the exact same when I was 4!

[@railfanryan]

They keep it pretty shiny yeah

[@Railviation]

Mann I am so upset that nobody told me that the Dash-8s were on the Surfline. I haven't gotten any footage of one yet.

[@railfanryan]

There might be one again. I could let you know if it happens

[@Railviation]

Hey Ryan, great video! Could I use some of your footage in a video im doing on the surfiner? I will give you credit.

[@railfanryan]

Sure! There are some better surfliner clips in some of my other videos. This video has an FPS issue for some people.
