Hi Trainboy94, are you the fellow who was watching WP 913 while the I St. bridge was open on Sunday? I was the guy there with his daughter. This video sequence at Del Paso was on Friday and we didn't have a meet on Friday.

Dogh, my camera recorded the time as 1111. The train was quite a bit later out of Sacramento than the schedule's 1015.

@calif2000 Yes that was me

Interesting video. I chased this train from Martinez to Portola the day it headed east and I chased it from Portola to Davis the day it headed west. Vids are on my youtube account. I was trying to beat the train to this Del Paso area but it was to dang fast. I beat it from Oroville to Davis but then in Davis the high way turned into a parking lot so I just gave up on the chase in Davis when the train blasted past me as I was standing still in insane traffic.

The BNSF it met is just off camera huh, I caught it just south of you

Great job with that video Mike ! Had to look great going up The Canyon.

Importantly, what was the precise pass-by time again ?

Nice shot! It was a great train even without 1983. I saw it in Davis, Dixon, Sac Depot, and Haggin. I'll post mine probably within the next few days. Thanks for posting this video!
