One of Amtrak's earlier F40PH's with a Nathan P5 horn. Classic!

[nmbnunes1]

The good old days. Sigh.... No More San Diegans, Santa fe, or Backwards coaster sets!

[AmtrakRailfan117]

what cabcar was that last coaster?

[ocrailfan]

Wow i miss the good ol' days. The classic F40PH on the San Diegan, and the Warbonnets and Bluebonnets on the Santa Fe freights. I miss that LOL

[trainboy94]

A F40 with strobes and a P series horn just awesome

[AmtrakCal462]

You've got some great footage of the 90's railroading scene in San Diego, thanks for sharing these with us! Loves me some Santa Fe and 90's Amtrak!

[AmtrakCal462]

For Sure!! Thanks!

[pimpinhector]

i dont know if its your camera or not but im sorta attracted to how 1995 looked back then it's probably from how hot it looks like in the video but in regualr videos from 09 or 10 is different you see cold air and not 2 much as bright as how it is in your video.

[pimpinhector]

back then when the crossing bells sounded good now we have shitty e bells or whatever

[AmtrakCal462]

Yep, i hate them  super annoying!

[AmtrakTitan455]

Imagine if 3751 came down to San Diego around 1995-1998 instead of waiting till 2008. I wonder if 3751 would look good with Phase III equipment?

[CoasterFan2105]

Prolly wouldve had the ATSD C40's like the other mid 90's trips.

[UP5853]

It's amazing how much can chagnge in 14 years.

[AmtrakCal462]

Yes it is...

[DJGENEX71]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! Any time you can see a 'powered' F-40PH it's a 5***** video!

[Surfliner6908]

OH MY GOD!!!!! A 3 CARRED COASTER!!!!!

[AmtrakCal462]

Ya i know, weird to see it was common back then

[CoasterFan2105]

Did the coaster used to stop at old town?

[AmtrakCal462]

Ya it always did...Back in the day the coasters ran almost all their trains on track 1 or the main line, now a lot run on #2

[deidelson]

Mostly Track 1 though

[AmtrakCal462]

No, if there is no meet at old town the coaster runs on the track closest to the trolley line

[deidelson]

I meant the track closest to the Trolley line.

[AmtrakCal462]

Oh, ya then thats correct

[AmtrakTitan455]

Is track 1 the one the Surfliners go through on usually?

[AmtrakCal462]

Yes

[AmtrakTitan455]

Do you have footage of the early Coaster days at Old Town?
