why does amtrak run a 10 car set with the great doam on the surfline like that only every so often? it would seem like a good train set to always have running.
@MrZkr123 This would be the very same. This is the only dome car currently running on AMTK. It is usually on the east coast Sept-Oct., surfliner 799/798/792 during thanksgiving, the Levenworth Snow train in Wash. in December, the Reno Fun train in Jan/feb. and back to Surfliner Service in July-Aug.
dude, my aunt comes in on the coast starlight all the time in oceanside. It looks exactly like that. The conductor even told me it was the coast starlight.
Yeah, I looked that up after I wrote that. I'd never heard anyone call it that before. Odd that the Great Northern would name one of their cars Ocean View, since only that short stretch of the route from Everett to Seattle runs along the ocean.
HOLY SH*T THAT'S RARE!!!!!! Once again Mike you catch something awsome and I miss out, LOL!!!! I hope that guy that got hit by the coaster is okay. When was this shot anyway?
Nice! I haven't seen that train before. Good catch!

Is that dome car really named "Ocean View?"
I rode in it once, I loved it. You can see the F59PHI's, just everything.

@Yzerfan55 not true at all, they use one on the Adirondack service in the fall usually. Usually from i believe Albany up to Montreal.

blueloud32 2 years ago
The coast starlight always runs with high level cars, as do almost all long distance amtrak trains. Only once did the Starlight run with low Levels.
