Train 11, on Track 11, on March 11
Arriving at Los Angeles Union Station 1 hour 12 minutes behind schedule (because it arrived in San Luis Obispo 1 hour and 5 minutes late) is Amtrak train 11, the southbound Coast Starlight. This train has relatively-new (just over one year old) ALC-42 306 on the head end, having just completed its first Los Angeles to Seattle to Los Angeles round trip. AMTK 306 was teamed with a pair of older GE P42DCs (182 and 180) for this journey, hauling a seven-car train. Fittingly, this is train 11, arriving on track 11, on March 11. Over on Track 10 is Amtrak Pacific Surfliner 794, preparing to depart for San Diego with Cab/Baggage/Coach 6907 Point Mugu on the rear. (Los Angeles, California – March 11, 2023)
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
