hey, great vid, but just sayin ur math might be a bit off for the total horsepower. I'm getting 17,200 hp (three 4400's and one 4000.) feel free to delete this comment once u've fixed the number =)
San Diego, a truly nice city....if you can afford to live in one of the decent parts. If not, it is not so pleasant, you will have a hard time insulating yourself from the filthy aspects of this city. Downtown has some great areas, but, it also has a lot of areas filled with drugged out dirty bums crapping/urinating on the sidewalks. Neighborhoods south and east of downtown are pretty sketchy. North of town is your best bet if you only speak english.
At 4:08 there is what appears to be a 20' empty flat car sandwiched between two empty 70'+ flat car. Unless the rules have changed since I retired that would get a conductor fired practically on the spot. Those empty shorties were prone to being squeezed out particularly going down hills.
man that a big time change. back when i railfanned in san diego, the northbound left at almost noon exactly everytime and the southbound came around 9 at night.
I love this video, I think it's SoCal railroading at it's finest with the breeze and palm trees. And with a warbonnet, it's definetly a fave and 5 stars!

@Trains232 Actually, not for another year :)
CoasterFan2105 1 year ago
@CoasterFan2105 It would seem more dangerous with a quiet zone since the trolleys run next to the tracks and a lot of pedestrians cross the tracks.

Why can't BNSF Still run consists like this in San Diego?

No, there is one train daily. Its a big deal to see the daygo in daylight hours. Now they usally run between 2-3 in the morning.

Actuall, the northbound DAYGO still almost always leaves around 7 P.M. and the southbound arrives around 10 PM

Amtrak117 2 years ago
It's just an inside joke.
CoasterFan2105 2 years ago
I'm guessing it has something to do with there being an Amtrak dash 8 with the same number haha

Not many, LOL! Usually, there is a daily manifest in each direction and a few autoracks. If you want to know more, I can tell you, just pm me.

CoasterFan2105 3 years ago
Usually 2 roads in each direction, and a local, but generally all under the cover at night. Sometimes there's a daytime extra on the weekend.
