+iusetano Thanks!

Excellent video. Surreal seeing the car drive past at 2:57 I live in the Bay Area. Didn't realize trains went thru the streets like this in Oakland. Does the Coast Starlight run thru the streets at the same location? (Reminds me of Oxnard where the train brushes shoulders with High St shoppers.)

[@Alwaystrains]

Thanks! Yes the starlight does indeed go through here. 11 goes through at about 8:30am and 14 at about 10pm (when they're on time).

What a pain in the ass that when going to SF, the train has to go down through the East Bay, juts right to San Jose, and goes another 50 miles back up the peninsula.

Welcome to the struggles of peninsula railfanning haha.

Thats one nice sounding K5LLA

[@Alwaystrains]

Indeed, if only more of them sounded like that.

+Southerntreatment Thanks dude!

[@MrMark85044]

I wonder if they use the tracks on the right?

[@Alwaystrains]

+MrMark85044 They don't. The furthest track to the right hasn't seen a train in almost 13 years.

+John Kearns I don't think there was anything divine about that train, but thanks.
