National Train Day Part 4 (with special guests andross51 and xtremepadrefan!)

Trains #1/2: Eastbound BNSF Double Stack meets Northbound Surfliner. Guest commentary by andross51 and xtremepadrefan. The people you see messing with the tracks put coins and a fork on them. Somewhat of a conflict ensued and the police were eventually called. The ticket lady came on the loudspeaker and yelled at them and told them it was a felony to put stuff on the tracks.
Train #3: Westbound BNSF Doublestack lead by a beautiful Dash 9. Guest commentary by andross51 and xtremepadrefan.
Train #4: The Southwest Chief. Guest commentary by andross51 and xtremepadrefan.
Train # 5: While andross51 and xtremepadrefan were having dinner, I caught this freight with a sweet horn and generous engineer going by.
Train #6: Northbound Surfliner with a private car (silver splendor). Andross51 and xtremepadrefan had to catch their southbound so they left without filming this train departure. Got my first shave and a haircut. Pretty sweet experience. Guest commentary by andross51 and xtremepadrefan and allaboardmodeltrains.
Trains #7 and 8: The southbound Amtrak taking andross51 and xtremepadrefan home meets a westbound baretable train.
I'll post part 5.....eventually.

Man U guyz were lucky to see the superliner.How did u even know when it was coming?

[penguingeneral2]

@dijonvenableiscool I'm not sure which train you are talking about? The Southwest Chief? That train comes every night at 7 o clock ish.

[sethamtrak]

did they catch the trespassers?

[penguingeneral2]

@sethamtrak They got yelled at over the loud speaker and the police eventually came. But I'm pretty sure they were long gone by then.

[SDRailfan]

What type of camera do you use

[penguingeneral2]

@SDRailfan JVC Everio. Standard Definition.

[sethamtrak]

@penguingeneral2 Oh

All "good & serious" rail fans should join BNSF's "Citizens for Rail Security" program - and report @$s-wipes who do stupid, dangerous, and life-thretening activities - such as blatant trespassing, walking on tracks, coins, objects, etc.

On a lighter note PenGen - if yer gonna have talking on your videos, Andross51's infectious enthusiasm? Two thumbs up; hilarious and quite enjoyable. Singing "Folsom Prison..." not so much :-D

Nice series on the LA Rail Day!!

@Railfan77 Absolutely, later that night we saw some people trying to break into the Metrolink ticket machines. No respect for the law or safety or what's right.
