@Amtrak6901 Thanks man!

That's strange ! I always drove by there and really never saw ANY action ?

[Michaellovestrains]

@brentnguyen46 What times did you drive by? Mornings and Evenings are peek hours for trains.

[brentnguyen46]

@Michaellovestrains I usually head to Orange County around noon, so no activity :( Also, are you going to be at the San Diego Depot or the Oceanside one this Sunday ?

[Michaellovestrains]

@brentnguyen46 That's the non rush hour time. No, I'm busy doing something. Sorry. Hope you have a good time!
