This is a daily morning ritual in Alviso, CA, southbound Coast Starlight #11 coming through the marshes into town. I'm trying out a new video camera, about 10 years newer than what I've been using. It has more than twice the zoom (37x vs. 15x) and I have image stabilizer now. I don't use a tripod as I like to pan my shots.

  • Does Capitool Corridor pass by alviso?

  • @EpicBlazbluedude315: Yes, Capitol Corridor trains that go to San Jose comes through here.

  • HEY, at 0:54 , what kind of observation car was that!?!?!?!?!?!?

  • @mesaraw: The first observation car is one of the Pacific Parlour cars, rebuilt from the original Santa Fe Hi-Level cars.

  • here's a question. Why isn't the name "superliner" written on the Amtrak cars anymore?

  • @ERAUPRCWA: It seems the "Superliner" lettering was removed when the paint scheme changed from Phase IV to Phase IVb.

  • Is that 6th car an ex-ATSF El Capitan?

  • first looks like the desert then the city

  • 0:51, *gasp!* Baggage door open!

  • When you were taking video of this, did you take still photos? The angle where it's rounding the bend is really cool. Nice video and great camera work with the zooming...

  • Uh, is this train passing thru just past sunrise? I've never seen such an empty town.

  • @cchan006 Also, while the standard Superliner Sightseer Lounge is open to all passengers,the Pacific Parlour Cars are reserved for 1st Class (Sleeping Car) Passengers only.

  • è un treno notte?

  • @cchan006 P42DC #203's K5LA sounds alot like P42DC #1's K5LA.Nice catch!

  • You CAN pan with a tri-pod...just saying.

  • How does the image stabalizer work when panning? Thats a great shot to know you didnt use a tripod! Thanks for sharing!
