@@DigginSoCalOutdoorAdventures The P42 was so cool. I have seen number 56 p42 at St louis.

Thank you

I agree....It makes sense when they explain why they need to rotate the cars to even the wear on the train wheels. Thanks

@@DigginSoCalOutdoorAdventures I did not even think of it that way. That’s cool

That is a great question...I had a good time!

A few weeks ago

then what is with the 3 Northern California Railcars?

@@Trainman2015 I am not sure. But this is a yard where they recondition old cars to a new condition before sending them back out. They could have been there for repairs or restoration?

@@Trainman2015 the cars are being used on the Pacific surfliner trains

@@Trainman2015 You probably know by now. When the Siemens cars come online in Northern California then all the second generation bilevel cars in use up there will be transferred to the Pacific Surfliners to help spread out the fleet and expand service throughout the state (Yes, they have “Surfliner” cars in California paint up there). During the pandemic, with fewer cars needed throughout the state, the state returned a number of cars being leased from Amtrak for the state services and started the process of redistributing the 2nd generation CA-owned bilevels in anticipation of the Siemens cars being in service by the end of the pandemic. Unfortunately, the Siemens cars have had a major setback and now the state is short on equipment, which has halted the equipment redistribution and is slowing the post-pandemic service recovery (There is not enough equipment available to return to pre-pandemic service levels now that the 25-ish leased Amtrak cars were returned to Amtrak). The current situation will sustain for a while until the Siemens cars finally enter service, then you’ll see more of those northern CA bilevels come down south.

Very interesting the way it works....thanks

I was told that before...nothing I can do about it now.....

Yeah… I did notice that. Sometimes it’s hard to tell in the editing process. Thanks for letting me know.

People who work on the rails, are telling the truth about the rails

It’s restored, not rebuilt. The operator shack, wood deck, motor, and bearings were replaced. The frame was sand blasted, restored, and repainted.

Not sure...some go to the train garages and others are just dead ends where the turn the cars around. One interesting fact is they turn all the cars around every so often to even out. the ware on the wheels....
