San Diego Trains 2021

Takes me back to my days of commuting on the Coaster. I like that you even got the Sprinter in here!

[@CoasterFan2105]

I had to! Thanks for watching!

[@chrisdelux125]

1. My favourite 3:05, it ended up making the train out of Piedmont ( the Piedmont location is North Carolina) the pacific Surfliner 2) The EMD F59PHI we're in storage but remained in service[ about in the coaster commuter in North county transit city district ]

Sweet shots! MTS is apparently retiring the Siemens SD100s (middle car on the S70s) at the moment. Will you be doing a farewell compilation video of them just like you did with the Duewag U2s?

[@creative7888]

4:56 I haven't seen this kind of train before, very interesting

[@travisbecker770]

It’s called a Sprinter hybrid rail train

[@creative7888]

That makes sense, I do like the looks that it has

[@chrisdelux125]

This train that you saw, is being use also in Europe, in Greece, they build hybrid rail out of 5 cars adding also the pantograph

[@bandvitromania9642]

I see them pretty daily in Romania And also theyre not in the greatest shape you can imagine

[@novuutheneolf]

It's derived from a diesel railcar that's made for branch line use in Europe. Germany, Denmark, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania and Greece have them.

[@docksidecoop8357]

I wanted to say that my 2-year-old son really loves all your train videos of what we have watched so far. He gets all excited watching the trains you capture on video. Even enjoys your few toy train videos, which he gets more excited watching your stuff compared to cartoon stuff like “Thomas & Friends”. He has gone through a lot this past year and your videos have really brought out his super excited side!! Thank you very much for your videos.

[@csmcg05]

The new swoopy aerodynamic locos are cool, but I always like how the cab cars look super intimidating like a moving wall haha. I haven't been paying much attention to trains recently, have they phased out the P42? I use to see those all the time on the Pacific Surfliner.

[@CoasterFan2105]

Since they are still running Surfliner trains on a reduced schedule, they don’t need as many locomotives, so the P42s have all been returned to Amtrak for now. Thanks for watching!

Some really great shots here! It’s hard to believe much has changed from when I started railfanning back in 2013. Although I’m not on the Surfline as much anymore, it’s still great to see all the upgrades as I know I would have better rides that are waiting to come.

[@iaev2500a3]

Awesome Mike! I’d love to see a video where you spend a day railfanning somewhere on the Metrolink Inland Empire line, say Santa Ana, Riverside La Sierra, or Anaheim Canyon

3001 and 3002 are both still around but have not been used much since the F40 retirement. They're on standby I think.

[@FamilyChannel2Memes]

Everybody in San Diego and Oceanside, The 2 beach cities in California, are shocked to see the Coaster train models have completely changed, A long time ago, They looked very old, So that’s when they decided to have a demand of making changes on the Coaster trains, The interior of the new Coaster model is very comfortable. That’s all I could say since I haven’t went to one single Coaster train, Once. The only train I used to go to is a Sprinter train. Which is still a good train for people to travel in. Also 1 last thing. In my country, When people air travel, They travel in an airplane from just American Airlines, But in Mexico, They have more than an ordinary airline. Like Volaris, AeroMexico, and other airlines. (This is the longest comment I ever wrote down. So go with it)

[@ChrisJones-gx7fc]

With future CAHSR planning to electrify Burbank to Anaheim for their trains, I wonder if and hope that electrification will continue down the Surf Line all the way to San Diego. Given this is the 2nd busiest passenger rail corridor in the country it would seem to make a lot of sense to do so. It could be done in phases, starting with LA to Anaheim then continue south to Laguna Niguel, then San Diego to Oceanside, and finally close the gap between Laguna Niguel and Oceanside. Unlike other rail corridors that are freight-owned, the Surf Line is owned between SCRRA (sans LA to Fullerton) in Orange County and NCTD in SD County, so electrification should be easier to implement. With the Caltrain corridor currently being electrified there should be a greater push to electrify the Surf Line too.
