Well you managed to catch I train I haven't caught even though the 119 went belly up in Stockton because it wouldn't load. The traction motor issues started in Riverbank and since BNSF had no other spare locomotives to lend Amtrak, they had to settle for a UP engine.
Very hard core catch!!!! BTW: This train was train number 14 on June 22, 2008; the same Coast Starlight that I shot rounding the Tehacaphi Loop that the freaking insane Asian guy deliberately jumped infront of my camera and ruined. At least you got to get a clear unobstructed shot of this train.
I wonder why UP used their loco for amtrak, they hate amtrak with a passion.

A UP locomotive was added in Stockton because 119 took a dump and to make matters worse, the UP engine had a traction motor failure enroute.
