Speaks how Metrolink system is so spread apart. 42 minutes from union Station to the next stop? Jesus.

@krnboy1009 This isn't Metrolink, it's Amtrak's Sunset Limited.

[krnboy1009]

@nicky9499 I think it takes the same route as one of the Metrolink route.

[nicky9499]

@krnboy1009 Perhaps, but you speak of long distances as though it's a bad thing?

[krnboy1009]

@nicky9499 ope, just odd being from East Coast and used to ride LIRR often.

Very cool! Rolling right through my regular ralfanning route towards the last 10 minutes.

And what a difference in ride quality between UP's new concrete ties / rail compared to the old rail / wooden ties after 38:28!

Very nice vid indeed! :D

[kappelmeister123]

@cabcar so true, how does that work?

You can see me filming it at Walnut Grove! (21:52) I'm standing at the intersection filming the Sunset go by! Small world! :D

@trainguy799 Haha, wow! That's really something! It confused me as to why there were two detectors right next to each other, they sound like they're scanning different things though.
