223 miles in 6 minutes. That means an average speed of 2330 mph. Eat your heart out France with your very pokey TGV.

I rode this route for my middle school trip, the train was a little bumpy and it took longer than car but you didn't really have to do anything and you could just go on your phone and watch things and buy chips and eat.

Great fast video of my favorite Amtrak route. I travel the Pacific Surfliners between San Diego, Los Angeles & Oxnard, it beat driving on the I-5/U.S.101 parking lots where people slow down for the sake of slowing down in nice weather, no construction zones & no accidents-the deliberate & intentional slow down happens nationwide.

it’s super cool that amtrak pacific surfliner comes out from LA that far! i travelled along US 101 near that region (0:00-4:07) a few months ago and sadly i saw no amtrak trains 😭… maybe because it was the weekend or they mostly stay down near san diego and los angeles

There needs to be many more trains from SLO instead of SBA. At least make trains 768 and 593 run to SLO and have a Thruway connection to/from the Bay Area.

@svscared 2 жыл бұрын

I agree. Even with the new schedule I would say there could at least be 2 more Surfliners that run between LA and SLO.

@mxderate 8 ай бұрын

Yeah its weird how there are only 2 Surfliners a day each direction. At least 2 of the 3 the trains that terminate at Goleta should be extended to SLO, and at least 2 of the 12 trains that terminate at LA should be extended to either Goleta or SLO

This video also illustrates how many curves are on the SP Coast Line from Chatsworth north. We are lucky trains can go 79 MPH on so much of it.

@christopherorourke6543 5 жыл бұрын

There have been upgrades on some of Amtrak’s routes outside the Northeast & Keystone corridors that allows for higher speeds, the FRA doesn’tand won’t allow it at all. The FRA has set up the 79 MPH maximum speed limit for all trains in 1979. It needs to be updated. The upgraded rotes can handle the speeds of 110 to 125 MPH with no problems.
