It's nice to see AMTK 252, now Amtrak Cascades 90252, have the same bell that it has today in this video.

As a nineties kid and a rail fan from a young age, I get a wash of nostalgia seeing phase III F40PHs, Amfleets, and Horizons. Also those grey and red SP engines bring back a lot of childhood memories.

Lots of really interesting stuff in here. The last P42s delivered in Phase 3 in the 110 series went straight to the Starlight pool and then immediately got Phase 5, so this is rare footage.

Can you recall any of the names of the through freight from the 1994-96 era? Or just how many freight trains a day ran the line?

@jamesg2609 thank you. Finding this information is like pulling teeth from a mountain lion. Everything out there is locked behind some kind of pay wall it seems and I'm not willing to pay money for information that may not even be what I was looking for. Honestly this has been the most informative message I've ever gotten back...

20:06 I noticed that ex-Metroliner cab retained its small 10th window - not many of the cab car conversions seemed to have that, said window usually getting blanked out, bringing the number of windows down/matching that of an Amfleet coach.
