Terrific job, Craig. I tried to outsmart the sun myself, but the sun outsmarted me. You nailed it!!!!

As an Amtrak engineer in zone 12,I worked out of LA.I used to operate some San Diegan trains,and 35/36 through here.Looking at this photo,I don't recognize a thing here!What tracks are those to the far right?

Gordon, things have changed a bit in Fullerton! The mainline is now triple-tracked through here, with Mains 1 and 2 (the mainline closest to the station and the center main) continuing to the east, and Mains 2 and 3 diverging to San Diego. The station also has Track 4, which is what you see off to the right. This is a stub-end spur, with a passing siding (visible in this shot) that diverges off the Amtrak / Metrolink trackage that heads south to San Diego. This track is used by Metrolink for their Fullerton to Laguna Niguel / Mission Viejo shuttles, so that they can lay over without interfering with Amtrak and BNSF movements. Trains run for Angels baseball games also lay over here as well.
