| Title: |
Amtrak's "Coast Starlight" |
| Description: |
Amtrak's Coast Starlight passes a railfan's dream house at the Channel Drive crossing. This neighborhood must be one of the wealthiest in the USA that is right up against a main line railroad. I was on a business retreat with my company staying in the Santa Barbara Biltmore, and had just enough time from when I heard a horn to run to the end of the parking lot and get a picture. This angle is from the bushes between the tennis court and the tracks. |
