Yes, i went foaming again, this time to Martinez California and i wasnt alone (well...Alex Ramos was friggen tired...so he wasnt all there if ya know what i mean)

Started out at about 6am with the BART (Bay Area Rural transit?) shot at the Mcarthur station.

Took forever to get to Marintez, but we made it, shortly followed after getting too out spot by a Capitol Corridor train at Ozol.

Next (i think) came UP 730 heading the Pittsburg local, featuring SP 1258.

And Amtrak 714, train was loaded with crew, had an engineer, trainee engineer, and three conductors. NOTE: Usual is one engineer and two conductors.

Nice shots! :D

The horn in that video of the last Amtrak California train departing (right before the UP manifest) sounds soooo wierd! Congrats to the nut who designed the F59PHI's and put the horn right infront of the turbocharger!! :7

I take it you mean the exhuast :P. Thanks, yea, most if not all the F59s sound like that now, is quite a treat to have a P42 or -8 in the lead...not to mention a cabcar...but i kinda like the sickly sounding F59s...
