UTAX 9 |
| Description: |
The Salt Lake City area has experienced a commuter rail renaissance lately, with three TRAX light rail lines in operation and Front Runner heavy rail commuter trains – all operated by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA). On a stormy August 10, 2012, afternoon, Front Runner train #4 passes under the six-track signal bridge and across the grade crossing at W 400 N (SLC is on the only city I know of that names their streets in such a manner) as it approaches Union Pacifics North Yard. UTAX MP36PH-3C 9, built by Motive Power Industries (Boise, ID) leads coach 201 and cab cars 113 and 120 as the train makes its way from downtown Salt Lake northward to Ogden. |

ATSF 3751 - Los Angeles, CA - 5/8/10 |
| Description: |
The rear platform on observation car "Tioga Pass" is the place to be as Santa Fe 4-8-4 3751 heads straight through the maze of trackwork at the throat of Los Angeles Union Station. The short four-car train is heading for San Bernardino, where it will spend the night before returning to Los Angeles the next day. Metrolink MP36PH-3C 892 has been added behind the steamer for "protection" in case there are any problems en route. |

SCAX 869 - Orange, CA - 6/26/10 |
| Description: |
Amtrak train #860 is scheduled to operate from Oceanside to San Bernardino. But on June 26, 2010, the train originated in San Clemente due to some major track work being performed north of Oceanside. Here we see train #860, with F59PH 869 on the point (and MP36PH-3C 892 on the rear) running about a half-hour late as it crosses the mighty Santa Ana River, and also crosses from Orange into Anaheim (as the river also serves as the city line). |

SCAX 894 |
| Description: |
On a hot, muggy August 28th, 2012, Metrolink train 640, heading from Los Angeles to Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo, has been delayed in Orange, California, due to doors that became inoperable. The train sat for 25 minutes while the crew worked on the problem, which caused two other southbounds behind it to be delayed as well (although they werent as late). The former Santa Fe station on the east side of the mainline was converted to a restaurant years ago, and is now thriving as a part of the Rubys Diner chain. The interior is nicely decorated in a railroad theme (mainly, but not exclusively, Santa Fe), including some elements copied from Los Angeles Union Station. And there is a patio for trackside dining as well. |

On September 5th, 2012, a BNSF train delivered 3 of the only four MK1200G natural gas locomotives to a scrap yard in Anaheim, California. BNSF 1201, 1202 and 1203 will undoubtedly be scrapped here. (But I hope Im wrong!) |

SCAX 896 - Fullerton, CA - 3/28/11 |
| Description: |
Southern California's Metrolink commuter train service has been in operation since 1991, and at rush hour the stations become a sea of humanity - imagine that; not everyone is stuck on the freeway! Fullerton, not far from Disneyland, sees Metrolink service between Los Angeles and southern points (Irvine, Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo and Oceanside) and cities to the east (Riverside) as well. Here train 706 (a Los Angeles to Riverside train) disgorges passengers at the venerable old Santa Fe station (built in 1930) right on time. In moments, the train will depart and, at the end of the platform, switch to the middle main, as the track it is on heads south to Oceanside (and eventually San Diego) rather than east to Riverside (and Chicago). |
