Oh my God, this brings back very fond memories of working Pool 6 out of SLO. So many I worked with are gone now. Barney Brown, Chuck Johnson, Dick Hadley, Dean Russum and so many others. Miss the days of running the Coast SLO-LA.

Love this video. As a life long ESpee fan on the east coast...i absolutely enjoyed this. Your views of the 2 tunnel motors and GP60 bring it all together. Thanks for sharing a great memory of yours.

Makes me sad that the Coastline is rarely used for anything other than Amtrak and a few locals.

That's peculiar, because I thought that's where all the SP and UP freight going north was going, because we hardly see two trains a day on the valley floor. (Through Fresno) unless it's BNSF.

Absolutely beautiful footage. I worked in Ventura for 6 years and shot the crap out of the line when UP was running the oilcans and autorack empties along with the Guadalupe haulers. It’s really unfortunate they rarely utilize it.

Beg to differ. Take a closer look. The last few good frames clearly show the points lined for the mov.e.

서울발 여수엑스포행 무궁화호 1517호 탈선사고 원인은 정기관사 정씨가 여자 관제사의 말을 무시하고 곡선을 직선으로 잘못 인식하면서 기어를 7단에서 8단으로 과속하면서 제한속도인 시속 50마일로 운행해야 하지만 정기관사 정씨는 평소처럼 시속 127마일로 과속운전했다.

Who would have thought it was the beginning of the end of fun railroading. Nothing but TO/PTC half automated trains now and douche management. Glad I got out when I did. Miss the work but not the environment corporate created. Cool video for sure.
