Question.... do you have to be in Business class on the NE Regional to get the rear view?
@YuqiLinux16 күн бұрын
@@davidbashay6286 It’s actually hard to tell. I see that the business class car is usually at one end of the train, but I’m not really sure if it’s always the case, especially in some consists there could be two locomotives with one at the rear.
@davidbashay628616 күн бұрын
@YuqiLinux oh ok... I'm hoping the business car is at the end to get that rear view. I purposely upgraded to business with hopes of getting the rear car. I don't particularly care for side views especially when you're passing thru a bunch of trees

Sounds like the puffer doesn't have a full head of steam. Around 40 years ago, Big Boy did a "farewell" tour down the West Coast and back up where it was to be retired. I remember thinking then, "This is probably the last time I'll see a steam engine, under steam." I also remember the shock of realizing that the pilot wheel I was looking at was turning, and I thought, "When the Hell did this mountain of steel start to move? And how is it so silent?" Then came the first blast of exhaust, and the long whistle, and the silence was broken. I'm still amazed how that much machinery can go into motion without making a sound. I don't know what happened, but I'm really glad that there are now quite a few of those magnificent machines that have been revived and are running again. Apparently a few of them are actually in revenue service. A steamer at the head end of a diesel consist will get a train moving and up to speed with fewer diesel units and once rolling the diesels can do what they're best at. I know they evolved a lot, but those fire breathing monsters are firmly rooted in 18th Century technology. We've come a long way -- I think -- maybe not.

About how often does it go this way via the Niles sub instead of straight through? I’ve traveled on southbound coast starlight train 11 between Oakland and San Jose 7 times between 2016-2023 and all those times it went the direct route and it never went the Niles Canyon route any of the times

As far as I know this unusual routing only appeared a few times in April this year. I also wasn’t expecting this.

@tomwujek48673 күн бұрын
They're not. The original A/B cars were from Rohr Industries, rebuilt by AdTranz/Bombardier. C cars were from Alstom, and C2 cars were from Morrison-Knudsen. The new Fleet of the Future is from Bombardier (now Alstom). The only thing Hitachi is doing with BART right now is designing and installing a new CBTC signalling system which will replace the legacy signals.
