What a rare sight! Amtrak 510 and 456 leading the Coast Starlight Train #11 through Manteca

This has got to be the ultimate detoured Coast Starlight vid that I have ever seen! Dash 8 & Surfliner leading the detour! Also that looks like the Salisbury Beach private car on the rear. If so then I road on that private car from San Luis Obispo to Los Angeles on the back of the Coast Starlight in year 2009.

@CoastStarlight11 It was pretty cool seeing that consist. Glad to have caught it.

[CoastStarlight11]

@sjrailfan You were lucky.

[sjrailfan]

@CoastStarlight11 Sure was. Honestly, if it wasn't for a friend of mine who was living in the Pacific Northwest at the time, I would have never known this was coming.

@sjrailfan wow

[AMTK510]

Consist is AMTK510, 456. Nice video.

[AmtrakSurfliner768]

Nice! That is pretty hard to come by!!

[sjrailfan]

@AmtrakSurfliner768 It sure is especially on a "Non-Starlight" route. I'm pretty sure that sight would not been seen again.

HOLY SHIT JEFF!!!!!!!!! THATS AMAZING!!!!!

[sjrailfan]

@trainboy94 I didn't have to go far to catch it.

@trainboy94 Also, to see a Dash 8 and an F59 lead the Starlight on the non-Starlight route was awesome. Plus, it was my first Phase 5 Dash 8 I got on video.
