AMTK 799 crossing Gaviota Trestle |
| Description: |
The trailing NCPU on Amtrak's LA to SLO Surfliner. This is the only Pacific Surfliner that normally operates with Horizon Fleet cars, a P42Dc and a Cabbage Car. It is also the only Surfliner that doesn't reach San Diego, running r/t LA to SLO. As to the trestle, it is 811 feet long and opened on December 12, 1900. It is located in a state park, where the rangers refer to it as the "Ghost Bridge." |

| Title: |
Amtrak SLO to LA Surfliner |
| Description: |
Cabbage car #90208 comes out of the setting sun and is about to cross over Woodley with the last regular Amtrak train in California that still uses Horizon Fleet and Amfleet cars. The no trespassing gates and signs have cropped up at many (if not all) of the grade crossings through the San Fernando Valley, in reaction to the deadly Glendale accident of some years back. As an aside, the first image I ever took on this line, back in 1985, was of an Amtrak train behind an F40PH... pretty cool that it's still possible 25 years later. |
