Railfanning the Surf Line on a Gray Sunday - 4K
Watch in 4K Resolution! I finally had a free weekend and headed out to film some trains on the Surf Line, also known as the LOSSAN Corridor. Because of the ongoing pandemic, there are still far fewer scheduled trains running compared to pre-pandemic levels. Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner is still running only 50% of the trains that it was running pre-pandemic, and Coaster weekend service remains indefinitely suspended. In spite of this, I was able to film lots of rollbys at a variety of locations thanks to carefully planned moves from one location to the next. Thanks to a few late trains, I was able to make it to a couple additional locations and get more videos than I would have if everythin...

Просмотров 6 тыс.3 года назад
Watch in 4K Resolution! For the past 25 years, the North County Transit District's fleet of five F40PH-2C locomotives has been dutifully powering Coaster commuter trains in San Diego County. These commuter locomotives are similar, but not identical, to the earlier and more common F40PH passenger locomotives produced by EMD. The F40PH-2C locomotives were built in 1994 by Morrison-Knudsen and uti...

Watch in 4K Resolution! I spent an evening out filming trains on the San Diego Subdivision in late July, 2020. Passenger traffic on the subdivision is down due to COVID-19, but there are still plenty of freight trains running at night. One of my goals for the night was to get some video of the soon-to-be-retired Coaster F40PH-2C locomotives. I found a new spot at Genesee Avenue which provides a...

Watch in 4K Resolution! Here are a few videos that I shot back in August showing the tail end of the evening commute rush along the Del Mar Bluffs.

In addition to the regular weekday trains, you'll see one of the extra...

    In such a difference from this viedo and your bio to modern day. I just hiked from the Dos Cabezas siding by the water tank all the way through tunnels 21 to tunnel 16 and Goat Canyon trestle and the railroad is completely abandon now. Any current attempts at rebuilding keep failing and the track is in awful shape with slides everywhere and tunnel 16 by the trestle having slides on both sides of the portals. Such a remote area the one thing that hasn't changed

    These guys were living in a dream world trying to bring this line back to life. I could see if you had millions to throw into it, but they were far from that. And to repair it back to San Deigo threw Mexico which would have been easier than repairing the tunnel section. And those nice cars have been trashed by stupid kids 1:14 30 God knows why they left them up there. Those would have been the ones I would have brought down right away. But it's all a lost cause now all Bankrupt. I really don't know what these guys were thinking. Tourist trains never make enough money to begin with.

    I love railroad videos and tractor videos. I wish you could have got a lot of video of the tractors clearing the tracks. In recent years there's a lot of video of rock slides blocking the tracks proving that these tracks are no longer used by any railroads. Lots of people also love to build homemade rail carts to go on abandoned rail lines. The officially organized railroad sponsored groups that sponsor speeder outings has caused popularity to grow among homemade rail cart enthusiast who seek out abandoned lines to drive their homemade rail carts on. Some old abandoned rail lines are being ripped out and turned into hiking trails. The track can be left in place and serve a dual purpose for both hikers and rail cartists. It would be fantastic if the railroads what sponsor group outings for the rail cartists like they do for the official rail speeder groups.

    There's a 1964 derailment down in the steepest, deepest canyon of this line. The main cargo was refrigerated semi trailers from the Coors beer factory in Colorado. The trailers still have the Coors logos on them and if your bold enough to scrabble down the canyon You can find empty dented Coors cans.
