A rare apperance by The Southwest Chief in Socal

[HybridHobby]

Hey guys! Had some free time yesterday morning 3/8/17. Woke up and found out the Chief was running about 5 1/2 hours late into SoCal area. This is a nice treat for us here due to the train arriving in the early morning hours with poor lighting conditions. Grabbed a few videos at some special spots around here. Hope you all enjoy!

Man, I'd hate to tumble down that hill with the erosion control stuff.

AmTrack running late ????? Noooooo

Jokes aside, nice video. AmTrack cancelled passenger service through our area years ago and we don't see many passenger trains any more.

Yeah probably wouldn't be to much fun. Those bumps look like they would stop the fall a bit, or just provide something nice to smack into lol.

Really nice video. Glad you made the effort to capture it.
Keep up the good work!

Since Southwest Chief comes from Chicago it's not that unusual to see it in daylight hours in SoCal. And most of the way it's on freight RR tracks!
