AMTK 503 |
| Description: |
Amtrak "Pacific Surfliner" #785 (San Diego to Goleta, CA) passes through the lagoons at the northern end of San Diego as it approaches the Pacific Ocean and its next stop at Solana Beach. This train often features older Amfleet and Horizon Fleet cars, and that necessitates the use of a Non Powered Cab Unit (also commonly called a "Cabbage" due the fact that they have a cab and a baggage compartment), in this car Amtrak 90230, which was rebuilt from Amtrak F40PH 230 and is painted for "Cascades" service in the Pacific Northwest. Oddly, even though there is an F59PHI shoving on the rear, todays train also has a GE Dash 8-32BWH on the point: Amtrak 503. |

| Description: |
During the Del Mar Race Season, Amtraks "Pacific Surfliner" trains become a bit more interesting as one train set is made up of older equipment (in order break up one standard high-level train set in order to extend the other train sets). On July 29th, 2011, train 582 departs Fullerton, California, on its way from Los Angeles to San Diego, with F59PHI 464 on the headend, a consist of Horizon and Amfleet cars, an old "Heritage" baggage car and Dash 8-32BWH 503 on the rear. Its a nice break from the usual "Pacific Surfliner" cars for those watching trackside, but I suspect that the passengers would rather have the newer - and nicer - "Surfliner" cars in which to ride. |

Amtrak P32BWH 503 is getting rewired at the carriers Los Angeles engine facility at Redondo Junction, just south of downtown Los Angeles. These electricians have my respect, as rewiring a locomotive is one job I cannot imagine is very easy to do. |

Amtrak "Pacific Surfliner" #567, heading from San Diego to Los Angeles, is just about to knock down the clear signal west of the station in Fullerton, California. The passengers on the left side of the train are about to get a very close look at BNSF train S-LAHCLO1-02A, heading east on its way from the harbors in Los Angeles to Clovis NM behind ES44C4 6669.

| Description: |
The parking lot at the Fullerton, California, Amtrak / Metrolink station needs additional parking, and a new parking structure is rising west of the depot (and west of Harbor Boulevard). Amtrak "Pacific Surfliner" #567 (San Diego to Los Angeles) is seen passing this new structure, with Dash 8-32BWH 503 for power rather than one of the normal F59PHI diesels, on March 3, 2012. |
