It's nice that you were able to film this at a time when Mission Tower still existed and you captured a great view of the tower.

well, I know I should have went to bed when I clicked on your video. Couldn't stop watching it! Superb all the way, and nice and steady! Something you don't see too much of with other videos. I noticed the noise difference between the concrete ties vs. the wooden ties, quite the difference!

This was quite a treat to watch. I've been to Pomona from Union Station many times via Metro link .. but this route is totally different ! It seems you by-pass the 2-3 mile southern route down the LA river out of LA. If you notice just as you are pulling into Pomona another southern route merges just before the station. I'm sure that's the Riverside line I've been down so many times =). Cheers and thanks for a great rail fan experience.

You can feel the jolt as it passes from the nice new welded concrete tie rail onto the old timber ties at 38:30. That pretty much seems to mark the point where the urban area ends.

Good job. I used to be a train dispatcher and this was one of my territories. Max. speed for passenger trains L.A. to West Colton was 65 mph back then. This train usually runs via Metrolink trackage L.A. to Bassett (flyover) but can run via UP. I have since transferred to train service and now work in engine service for UP between KC and Coffeyville, Kansas but it was nice to see the old territory I used to dispatch. I was born in Glendale, just minutes from L.A.

A really interesting video. Not being from LA, I was tracking the route using the Google satellite view while I was watching the video which allowed me to identify rail yards, connecting lines, freeways, streets and etc.. I learned that I could drive on Valley Blvd and get a good view of the tracks. When the train stopped, I could see that it had arrived at Pomona Station. I then used the 3D view to get a glimpse of the station itself. That's pretty cool!

That track is a short connection between the route to Ventura and the line to San Diego. I believe they use it to wye long-distance trains after they arrive at LA, since the 8th st. shops are to the left of the camera's point of view. I believe the entire diamond is operated by SCRRA (Metrolink)

I took the Sunset Limited out of LA in 2014. We weren't 5 minutes out of LAX when dispatch made us stop because two cars collided with each other on the grade crossing. it blocked the rails for 4 hours. We barely got to San Antonio to make the link to the Texas Eagle. We got there but the train had already left. I don't know if we got to the station in time for the transfer. I remember waking up to a switcher shoving us up the line at a pretty good speed. 5:43 clearly a missing track.

lukebccb is correct, this is a Superliner Sleeping Car. It is outfitted with windows on either end, commonly used by conductors to protect shoves into yards and so that people can see what type of car they'll be walking into next (obviously here there is no car behind us, therefore I could film out of it). trainguy799 has plenty of videos of this train (not the exact one, but the trainset rarely varies). There is no cab car. Cab cars are more often used on short-distance trains.

Does the Sunset Limited always go over the former SP or do they sometimes use Metrolink's San Bernardino Line between El Monte and Union Station? One Sunset Limited route description mentions running in the I-10 median just east of LA which is the Metrolink line. Obviously not the case in this video.
