Ha! Really, funny. i had to turn my hat backwards so it wouldn't fly off. 2 days ago on the 8th we retured to this location to pace #14 once more, I hope to get that video up sometime next week.
PPC = Pacific Palour Car. These cars are Ex-Santa Fe passenger cars, only used on the Coast Starlight trains. On this train, it is the 5th car behind the baggage car. These cars are used for sleeping car passengers only, and give excellent serivce, including: Large Observation windows & wine tasting & a movie theater downstairs.
AWESOME pacing video of the Starlight!! I really like that you got good shots of the other parts of the train (besides the engines), and especially the excellent shots of the two private cars, Silver Lariat and Silver Solarium beginning at 3:27 ! The closeups of the dome cars at 4:10 were awesome!! Good job, great video!!
So after train 14 passed me on the loop it then got in Alex's territory in this vid. Also remember that vid of mine you saw that UP freight train takeing 10 minutes to go around the Tehacaphi Loop? Well in this vid you see the Coast Starlight takeing over/passing that very freight train that I shot vid of.
Does anybody know why the train was re-routed along the highway 99 route?

You do realize I was watching you from the PPC during this right? Ha! Great pacing, better light than my pacing on #11.

Yes, this was before Fresno. So easy to keep pace with it, then pull ahead of it to set up at the yard.
