When I heard this lash-up I had no choice but to get it on video. What a rare site it was! Amtrak 510 has got one of the best horns I've ever heard and here it is teamed up with a Surfliner F59PHI leading the train through town. Also, the Boston and Maine private car on the end made this three times as nice! Enjoy!

  • This has got to be the ultimate detoured Coast Starlight vid that I have ever seen! Dash 8 & Surfliner leading the detour! Also that looks like the Salisbury Beach private car on the rear. If so then I road on that private car from San Luis Obispo to Los Angeles on the back of the Coast Starlight in year 2009.

  • @CoastStarlight11 It was pretty cool seeing that consist. Glad to have caught it.

  • @sjrailfan You were lucky.

  • @CoastStarlight11 Sure was. Honestly, if it wasn't for a friend of mine who was living in the Pacific Northwest at the time, I would have never known this was coming.

  • Nice! That is pretty hard to come by!!

  • @AmtrakSurfliner768 It sure is especially on a "Non-Starlight" route. I'm pretty sure that sight would not been seen again.

see all
