That woulda been 774. You'll likely see 784 waiting to depart Goleta, 792 somewhere around Santa Maria, then meet 11 before SLO if it continues to run on time. Wave as you pass Ventura - after OXN - then enjoy the run up the coast.We had a meet with a surfliner at chatsworth.
Is it as big as they say it is? :lol:Just got first Glimpse of pacific ocean.
Yeah but what a sight to wake up to, Mt. Shasta and the snow covered trees and mountains! And you're all warm and snug on the train as you cruise upAlohaDeparted lax ontime. The ppc is operating.

Glad to here you made it and have the PPC, Strangest part of that trip is you Go to Sleep around Northern California and you Awake, you are still in California with one stop left.
Get the dessert to go!I beleive we set off a hot box detector near goleta. Just finishing my angus burger with cheese. No room for dessert
This is why some of us get scanners.Been stopped for 15 minutes at gaviota. No announcement. Hot box dectector or meet?
I gave one but did not want use it in ppc.This is why some of us get scanners.Been stopped for 15 minutes at gaviota. No announcement. Hot box dectector or meet?
Why not? :huh: After all, if you're wearing earphone(s), who's going to hear! And I'm almost sure others in the PC (including the crew) would like to know what's going on too! I used my netbook with GPS in the PPC - and the crew (including the Conductor ) were interested!I gave one but did not want use it in ppc.This is why some of us get scanners.Been stopped for 15 minutes at gaviota.

Just met a surfliner with amcans. Why run those on the longest trip for surfliners
That was 792. 799/798/792 (weekend no. southbound) consist only runs north of L.A. Longest Surfliner runs are 774 SLO-SAN, and 775 SAN-SLO. As I understand it, CalTrans (aka Amtrak California) wanted and was willing to pay for another Surfliner, but not enough Surfliner equipment for another consist, hence the Amfleet/Horizon consist, sometimes augmented by the superdome.Just met a surfliner with amcans.

I think Genesis are P42s, "boxier" engine is likely P32.
EDIT: You didn't check out the power before departure!? For shame!
