Amtrak #3 Detour on I-10 Freeway, #1 & #14 (5/29/11)

1) Amtrak Southwest Chief train #3 went over the Metrolink San Gabriel Sub instead of BNSF San Bernardino Sub on 5/29/11. How often do you see the Southwest Chief on I-10 freeway? Caught it at the middle of the I-10 in Alhambra, California. 2) Amtrak Sunset Limited #1 at Daly street bridge in Los Angeles, California. 3) Metrolink train and Union Pacific yard power move from Gemco yard to LATC at Main street bridge in Los Angeles, California.
4) Amtrak Coast Starlight #14 at Glendale Depot, Glendale, California.

P.S. I was thinking about to catch all other LD trains, such as #2, #4 & #11 but it was pretty windy all afternoon and night, so I decided to not to catch them all!

@robertgift Thanks. I believe it was track work on the BNSF San Bernardino Sub.

@FanOfthePADRES411 It's on the ped overpass near Ramona Rd/Warwick Rd in Alhambra, CA.

Is the cat a trainspotter?

@Sarov452 On most stretches trains are faster than cars in the US. Just in this particular video you are seeing trains on a portion of track where the speed limit is slower than Vehicular traffic.
