Trains of The Surf Line: Oceanside - Solana Beach California Part 4

[@johnlasky3625]

As a 20 year Coaster commuter, I really appreciate these videos. Also, you have a good narrators voice, and I like most of all your videos with narration.

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks so much. Glad you have enjoyed the series thus far. Really appreciate it!

[@courtneykappel370]

This really takes me back to my days of living in Carlsbad and commuting to La Jolla on the Coaster. Such a great route.

[@CoasterFan2105]

It's one of a kind!

[@pablofandelostrenes]

Can we apreciarte the work that this guy does to keep us informed and entertained about trains?

[@CoasterFan2105]

Many thanks! I'm very grateful that people enjoy what I do.

Who would have thought that California had such beautiful rolling steel out there. Can NOT get enough trains.

[@CoasterFan2105]

They are pretty neat!

[@dnoc4973]

Hi mike, all your vids are awesome, railfanning in California is awesome and its a great place

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks so much! Yes, it's a pretty neat place to see trains!

[@dnoc4973]

You're welcome and I visited California and metrolink and coaster were awesome to see

[@bayerischerostfriese]

It´s a rainy evening here in Germany. Thanks for showing us a bit of sunny California and of course the trains. Great Video again!

[@CoasterFan2105]

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!

Another location on my bucket list. Solana Beach.

[@CoasterFan2105]

Excellent.

[@BrianPooleJRCilantro]

It haves me a flash back of the Southern California coastline.

[@RailfanSam]

Great video as always Mike!! The views of the Surfline are some of my favorites anywhere in the country and it's on my bucket list to railfan there!!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you, Sam!

[@PrincessAmtrakMinamoto]

Awesome video. Friday was great on this days. 🙂

[@CoasterFan2105]

Many thanks!

I railfan cbv and I will never get old

[@SpeedAcceleracer]

CoasterFan2105 whoever made these trains has major metal making skills, I have high respect for people like that

[@wayneeschbank2895]

Loved the video of Coaster full train in the new livery without any odd livery or add whap Keep these videos coming Mick as I will never get back to America.

[@CoasterFan2105]

More on the way! Thanks for watching!

[@northerncalirails2008]

Awesome job, I want to railfan the surfline someday

[@jeffreyrule8143]

Thanks as always Mike. Great footage and history.

[@AmtrakFunkandDiscoFan]

I miss the old Surfline prior to 2019-2021.

Thank you!

[@andross51]

Your videos from the surfline never continue to amaze me Mike! As I usually say I MISS the surfline how it used to be prior to 2018! Again another GREAT video by you man! Woohoo! :)

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks so much, Dean! I'm glad I was able to document as much of the Surf Line as it was. One of my goals with this mini series was to create a time capsule of things as they once were on the Surf Line. I think (and hope) it does a decent job of that.

[@billtherailfanner455]

Nice video Mike. I sure do miss the days when the F59s, Genesis, F40PH converted into NPCU’s, and F40PHM-2C’s ran on the Surfline. The Pacific Surfliner F59s have been sold to Metra, Metrolink’s F59PHI’s and most of their PH units have been stored expect for 852, 856, 868, and 873 as of rn. All of the Coaster F40s have been retired with 2103 and 2105 being sent to museums, and the Coaster F59s days are numbered as of the making of this comment on June 30th, 2023. And the F40PH converted into NPCU’s are no longer running on the Surfline since the Pacific Surfliner stopped using single level sets in 2020. 90208 was withdrawn after an accident with a forklift on August 15th, 2019, and 90278 has been transferred to work on the Amtrak San Joaquins from Bakersfield to Sacramento and Oakland. I know 90200, 90229, and 90230 used to work on the Surfline but 90230 has been sent back to work on the Amtrak Cascades, 90229 has been working the Amtrak Cascades recently last time I checked, and 90200 is currently working on Amtrak Midwest. The last time the Surfline used the Genesis locomotives between Los Angeles and San Diego was in 2020 I believe. I heard that a Surfliner train did use a Genesis in 2022 according to a railfan on a community post on YT but only north of Los Angeles and not South. I know that the SWC uses them between Los Angeles and Fullerton and then continue to Chicago, but I am only counting the Pacific Surfliner from Los Angeles to Fullerton, and from there to San Diego. Great job Mike.

[@CoasterFan2105]

Many thanks! Yeah, there have been a great number of changes over the last half decade. It's amazing how quickly things changed.

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you!

[@mariocxdyt]

Why they sometimes drive the train backwards? Ex: 18:30

[@CoasterFan2105]

All the trains on this line use Cab Control Cars. They allow the train crew to operate the train from the last car rather than the locomotive. For a more in depth explanation, check out the very first episode of my Train Talk video series.

Thank you!

[@johnturley8621]

I live in Germany now, and am kinda spoiled by the wide availability of German railroads (old Chicagoan as I am!)...but one problem appears to be common to both rail systems: the "melting" of steel wheels, resulting in the rapid-fire bumping of wheels on rails; and here as there I get to worrying about ultimate rail safety.

[@KendallTNRailfans15]

Nice

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks!

[@United1158]

How much longer is the San Juan Capistrano-Oceanside stretch closed off for? The corridor between SAN-SLO looks like a ghost town between the crash in MPK and the closure.

[@CoasterFan2105]

That I don't know. My guess is at least another few weeks.

[@alexisvaldez1819]

Will they construct and work on building some more double tracks on the south of the Surfline?

[@jenniferroberts3230]

Pls continue toy trains galore

[@jermelsgirl504]

I love you💖 Mike

[@average_joe8905]

15:32 Easily one of your best shots Mike, can't wait for Part 5!

Hey Mike I heard your favorite locomotive 2105 got coupled up to one of the Southern California railway museums locomotives and is going to go to the museum soon - are you going to make a video of 2103 going to the pacific southwest railway museum and 2105 going to the Southern California railway museum?

[@maxhemenway]

10:44 What Coaster Train Is That

[@CoasterFan2105]

That is Coaster train 662 meeting train 657.

[@dominicc1981]

Where would you go to spot coaster f59phi’s

[@MatthewBuhrmann]

How fast do trains go going north and south thru Encinitas?

[@CoasterFan2105]

I think the curve has a speed restriction of 80 MPH but the limits on the straight sections to the north and south for a long time were 90.
