did train make wrong turn?????

[mpsicily]

Now that NUUMI is closed I guess that we won't be seeing anymore auto trains for awhile??????????

@mpsicily: AGBMI, the train shown in the video, still runs. There's a loading/unloading facility in Milpitas that's still being used.

A fun place to catch trains. I never do it that much being out of the area.

Where precisely is Niles Junction?

[cchan006]

@SSCexpert: It's on the eastern edge of Fremont, along Mission Blvd. Look for the junction of Highways 238 and 84.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that the place where the old SP and WP lines crossed?

[cchan006]

I believe you would be correct. The WP lines had another wye further east, toward Niles Canyon, but the tracks have been pulled, I think.

[ThomasRivette]

A great place to rail fan.

Very cool! Nice catch with the IG2OA. It's now back on Cal-P.

[cchan006]

I'll have more on that IG2OA later...
