Railfanning Fullerton featuring Comet Cars on 573

I finally caught the Comet Cars. Here is Amtrak Pacific Surfliner train 573 the San Diego to Los Angeles Union Station service with Dash 8 unit 503 leading 6 Comet Coaches and Dash 8 unit 509 on the back of the train. My dream finally came true 12/27/24. I never thought I would see 2 dash 8 units on one set. The Comet Coaches was built between 1968 to 1969 in Saint Louis Missouri as Jersey Arrow EMU's by the Saint Louis Car Company and the coaches were overhauled from 2011 to 2013 in Beech Grove Indiana as California Comet Coaches by Amtrak San Joaquin service. This equipment is borrowed equipment from the San Joaquin service train to keep up with the ridership down on the Pacific Surfliner. The Pacific Surfliner is the 2nd busiest rail corridor in the country behind the Northeast corridor. Dash 8 unit 503 sounded great.
