Remarks & Notes

Two freights are in the hole at Knightsen for Amtrak 265 West, a San Joaquin train out of Bakersfield. This 3-way meet represents three railroads: Amtrak, UP, and Santa Fe. UP's Pittsburg Local headed back to Stockton is first in the siding, followed by a Santa Fe eastbound. The San Joaquin is doing approximately 70-79 mph.

What California is known for. Fires, droughts, weed, and people waving rainbow flags. Yah. Great place alright. At least the trains are nice.

Everyone's favorite! Phase III was introduced in the late 70's and is now having a comeback.

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.
