What a time. Dash 8’s pulling metroliner cab cars, F40’s with beautiful P5’s, phase three paint, private cars up front and Santa Fe running right beside it all. I wish I was there to experience that

8:17 AWESOME K5LA air horn produced by the Amfleet cab control car especially the sudden increase in volume pitch on the 4th air horn blast of the Long-Long-Short-Long sequence. 😍 For those who agree, crank up your volumes to max sound, especially on the 4th air horn blast!

It’s a lot more beautiful to see the glory memories of riding or viewing to see giants of steel, to clattering down the tracks, hauling freights and people throughout across the American’s rail infrastructure from back in early 1980’s and late 1990’s.

All of these Beasts of engines rolling around. The 90’s had the absolute best diesels in my opinion, not only these shown but the Genesis was on the way as well. Not only should they haven’t had replaced any of these powerhouses but I don’t think they ever should’ve changed that simple but great paint scheme either

19:44 I was there last weekend for train watching. Also there’s a goof on 20:45. When the Narrator says southbound on this Amtrak train, it’s actually heading northbound. Also I’m going to model this in HO Scale as well.

This is the first Pentrex video I’ve seen with the narrator being a chicky. At least with Dave Drui, he had that amazing radio like voice that made these videos even more enjoyable beside the trains. This narrator doesn’t sound like she enjoys this one bit! Almost like being forced to read the script.

@chloecover1276 5 ай бұрын

Yeah, it sounds more like a news report than a railfanning documentary, like she’s not at all enthusiastic about it

Pretty facinating! Amtrak runs San Diego to LA Union Station and points beyond and Metrolink now runs from Oceanside to LA. Metrolink has a really good deal on the weekends!

Metrolink, plans to run to San Diego, Coaster intends to run to Anaheim and Amtrak already does both!

Does anyone remember the Pentrax take on the surf liner? It had film on the then new Metrolink, a cab ride on the Surfliner and (I think) footage from when the ICE came through California.

California may have its problems, but at least the conversation of improving and building new transit started in the 60s 70s 80s and 90s instead of now.

I'm guessing this footage is from 1993.

@GintaPPE1000 4 жыл бұрын

Early 1992 most likely. Metrolink is mentioned as a thing, but is not truly operational, which happened on October 26, 1992. However, their first F59PHs were not delivered until 1992, and we see 2 of them coupled up to a test consist at LAUPT, meaning this can't be earlier than 1992. The fact they're paired with Superliners instead of the intended Bilevel coaches also indicates this was probably filmed just after they arrived.

@OakViewFilms 4 жыл бұрын

It’s 1993. They talk about the special train for the Super Bowl, which was held in Glendale, California in 1993. (With MJ doing the half time show). Not to mention Metrolink service didn’t start till October 1992.

California back in the 80’s before the bazillions of illegal immigrants flooded into the place turning I-5 into the worlds largest parking lot.

@jeffret13 Ай бұрын

Amtrak had commercial ads in spanish around the time of this film. stop saying “back in my day when nothing was as terrible as it is today.” it’s not getting you anywhere. things change, stop adding illegal immigration for the cause of your problem with today’s high population, you sound racist. each generation had terrible and good things happen.
