[singwith]

@sanchezv8 yea, what's wrong?

[sanchezv8]

@singwith i wanna catch it lol with the Dash 8 and F-40 in phase 3

[singwith]

@sanchezv8 that F40 is now in phase 5. :(

[GioRox1234]

Can someone please answer my question? ..... Why does Amtrak number 799 use different cars than the regular. Blue Amtrak cars?? The blue amtrak picific surfliner looks way better

[singwith]

@GioRox1234 lack of Surfliner equipment.

[Stereotypeblackguy]

@GioRox1234 It is Also an Original Surfliner consist with Use of a P32 and a F40PH Cabbage originally used A F40PH and a F40PH Cabbage and heritage cars and then evolved

@GioRox1234 i like it.....its always nice to see something new or in this case old :D

[FanOfthePADRES411]

@GioRox1234 799 uses the older amtrak equipment due to a shortage of regular surfliner cars.

[singwith]

Sometimes, this is difficult to comprehend as a Surfliner. Just so different...

5/5 and added to favorites.

[cousindrama997]

Wow the good old days! Wow, look at 90208!

[singwith]

yea, too bad that 90208 got phase V now.

[CoasterFan2105]

509 is back on 798! GO see it!

[singwith]

well, I thought they took him out.

[CoasterFan2105]

He's back on again today, leading south!!!

[singwith]

man, bad timing. I did not catch it. next time!

[CoasterFan2105]

Oh well. He may be on tomorrow...

[singwith]

I missed it again. they brought back the cabbage again!

[SF3751]

Dang 509 still in that paint eh? wow

[singwith]

Yea, didn't you see it while you were at the 8 street yard?

[SF3751]

No, the special was in the way I guess.

[atsf484number3751]

I was at laupt yesterday and I saw #509. It has a bad bell. It will be in my videos Trainwatching at Los Angeles Union Station 8/13/08 parts 1 and 2 that will appear on my channel soon.

[singwith]

Cool that you saw 509 on 799.

[atsf484number3751]

Sweet video! Why is #90208 still in Phase 3 Paint?

[singwith]

Thanks. Yea, this was last one that I saw 90208 is phase 3 and also 509 at the same time. After this,. that cabbage car repainted as phase V. I still think phase 3 & 4 are better than phase V.

[RCdash9]

Thats 10 out of 10! Thats 2 pieces of heritage, but the Daylight car is more important though.

[singwith]

Thanks for the comment!

[trainzrok]

Wow, 509 still has Phase IV Paint

[singwith]

Yea, 509 and also 506.

[CabooseColin]

[singwith]

[theUP844]

you should take a camera so you can get some pictures.i plan to videotape it if i can.if can get a proper cable to put it on my computer i might upload the video on youtube so ohter 3751 fans can see it.If you know anyone who is going on the train the day of the trip you should tell them to do the same thing.

[singwith]

Yes, it's gonna be great! where are you from? here in L.A?

[theUP844]

I have seen overland trail before.the car was used on the SANTA FE steam locomotive 3751s excursion trip to Arizona back in 2002.And if anyone sees this who is a fan of 3751 it will be running an excursion trip to San Diego on June 1st.I bought tickets for the train so i willl be riding the train the day of the trip.just do a google for SAN BERNARDINO RAILROAD HISTORICAL SOCIETY on the main page is a link to the club selling the tickets.this will be 3751s first major outing in almost six years.

[singwith]

Yes, I ordered ticket for my self! I have seen 3751 twice but I have never seen that she is running. Can't wait!
