did you know that 2500 gallon tank is full with 2500 gallons of sand to balance the loco and give i more weight

[EverywhereWest]

The sound of those P42's rumbling out of the station was amazing! Loved that Cabbage too, that's a pretty unusual catch! Great job!

[CoasterFan2105]

Thank you!

[trainmaster55]

Love the angle!

[Locomotive450]

Awesome!

[trainkids]

Nice angle Mike!

[Trainman11185]

cool, I saw #10 leading the Coast Starlight in tacoma on President's day

[DJGENEX71]

Awesome catch with the 'cabbage' unit on this train! 5*****!

[CoastStarlight11]

I have shot video of the Coast Starlight at this very platform. Dude this is so insanly hard core with the Cabbage. I have seen tons of different types of engines on the Coast Starlight over the years but never a cabbage. The only Cabbage I have seen like this one in the vid (in this color and all) is the cabbage that runs on Amtrak's Heart Land Flyer train between Oklahoma City and Ft. Worth.

[CoasterFan2105]

I know! The view is spectacular! Thanks!

[CoastStarlight11]

Just a tad north of Santa Barbara is a place called the Gaviota bridge which is like the most hard core'st place on earth to get shots.

[CoasterFan2105]

Yeah, I've been there before too.

[Danapeople]

btw, how do u have two videos posted of the same thing in high and normal quality and when i leave a comment its on both

[CoasterFan2105]

Umm, I only uploaded one vide..its the same video..

[Danapeople]

why do u have the link then

[CoasterFan2105]

Because it doesn't come up in hq, so it just re-loads the page in HQ...

[Danapeople]

i found out the code thingy

[PilotKev170]

Good angle! Its nice how you can see the station in the back! :) 5/5!

[Danapeople]

i prefer the station batter, but it looks nice anyways. nice catch of 90278. 148 has a gr8 horn! 148 was on the capitol corridors for a few days

[CoasterFan2105]

You mean you like it from the Station side?

[AODProds]

Great angle. I never thought of using that angle when I was in Santa Barbara back in Summer 2008. You could see all Northbound trains, however, the blind spot was Southbound. I doubt that the location that you used in this video gave you a better view of oncoming southbound consists, but scanners can prove very useful in situations like these. And no, I do not have a scanner...yet.

[CoasterFan2105]

Actually, it turnsout WAY better! Igot a great shot of 6903 on 784 from the same location on the same day and it turned out great!

[AODProds]

Next time I go to Santa Barbara, I'll see about using that angle.

-Alex

[SF3751]

Way better angle Mike, and nice that you caught 148.

[CoasterFan2105]

Yeah, I did! THank you, Alex!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Good K5LA, and a very nice angle here

[Bobcatonline]

What a cracking video. I much prefer the Santa Barbara station from this angle. It shows off the architecture and the Californian Hills so well. 5* and straight to fav!

[GregInCalifornia]

Nice shot! Beautiful day!

[ANDREWAMTRAK]

Did they ever get the 454 back or do we still have it? last i saw it it was paired up with 90278 that was last month.

[CoasterFan2105]

454 is back in La and the 90278 came to LA AGAIN about a week ago...
