A Day on the Santa Barbara Sub: UP, Amtrak, Bridge Shots, and 457! 10-2-10

[N330AA]

Question: 4:36, where abouts is this?

[UnionPacific18]

@N330AA That would be Gaviota. Great shot for taking video and or pictures especially with the bridge seen off in the distance. Its around 15-20 miles north of Santa Barbara.

[N330AA]

@UnionPacific18 Cool, might try and get out there this Summer

Dude the very first shot in this video at 0:40 is Carpinteria and that is Santa Clause Lane in the background. I shot video of Amtrak's northbound Coast Starlight train 14 at this very spot in year 2007 before that fence existed. If you search my youtube account for "September 22, 2007" you can see the video I shot at that exact spot at Santa Clause Lane. 1:02 appears to be the curve above Gaviota Beach. 1:35, Santa Barbara Amtrak Station. I know like every spot in this vid. Rare engine 1:58!!!

[UnionPacific18]

@CoastStarlight11 Yup all correct! K I will look for it. You mean 457? That one comes by pretty often I have filmed it numerous times. It's a pretty neat looking one and it sounds great!!!

[UnionPacific18]

@UnionPacific18 Thanks Michael!

[CoastStarlight11]

@UnionPacific18 I think 457 is the one in the special paint

[UnionPacific18]

@CoastStarlight11 Ya it is, but it's not paint it's just a wrap that will eventually have to be taken off.... Kinda sucks

[CoastStarlight11]

@UnionPacific18 oh DUH!!!! I totally forgot that they are actually "wrapping" some of these engines and not painting them.

Good video!! Santa Barbara is a great location!! 457 was sounding good as always too!!

[UnionPacific18]

@AmtrakCal462 Thanks! Yeah I know 457 looks good, and always sounds even better!

[LostOzarkRambler]

Wow. You do get around in a day.

What kind of camera are you using for these shots?

Great job.

[UnionPacific18]

@LostOzarkRambler hahaha ya I do!

I use a Sanyo Xacti 1920x1080 full HD camcorder. I can't upload in HD for some reason though.

Thank u!

Nice shot of #507 and the Coast Starlight with the private car!

Interesting horn on Surfliner F59PHI #464.

[UnionPacific18]

Ya it is by far the worst of the Surfliner F59s...
