On a warm evening in March, Amtrak P42DC # 122 leads an abbreviated form of the Coast Starlight out of Santa Barbara with a hauntingly beautiful K5LA , with the horn echoing off the buildings. Being only 4 cars in length (3 coaches and a lounge), this train seems short compared to he normal 11 car consist. This is due to mudslides blocking the tracks in Oregon. Train 11 on 3/24/08. Enjoy!

  • What kind of Amtrak was this? Theres NO WAY It's the CoastStarlight.

  • @trainwatcher17 In 2008, there were mud slides blocking the tracks so the starlight only ran from LA to sacramento. This is a video of one of those trains.

  • Just love these Genesis units. You can have your ICE trains and Thalys high speed units, these are American sized and nothing sounds quite like 'em. On the Empire Builder it's shocking how fast they pull out of a station. Great K5la.

  • nice video love the k5la
