@trainwatcher17 In 2008, there were mud slides blocking the tracks so the starlight only ran from LA to sacramento. This is a video of one of those trains.
Back in Early 2008 there was Mudslides back in Oregon, along the Union Pacific route. The line used by the Coast Starlight, too. It was a HUGE mess, so they ran a "short" version of it from LA-Sacramento with Bus service from Sacramento to Seattle. So the user here called it the "Mini Light"
Amazing K5LA. Brings back memories of growing up watching Amtrak when I was a kid.

Mini Light: Shortend coast starlight from SAC. to LAX during oregon mudslides last year. P42, coach, lounge, coach, coach/baggage.
Thanks, Andrew! LOL, yeah, 122 is sure loud!
Thank you!
No. This was during the mudslides. This is train 11. It originated in Sacramento.
Thanks!

Reminds me of The Amtrak Desert Wind which is No Longer Operating.

Why is there a dent in the front?
The Starlight Takes The Lead.
Man that horn was for real!!!! Too bad it's trash now...
Nice. "Mini Light"
MW
nice vid but what is "mini-light"
@CoasterFan2105 Oh I never knew that very interesting.
i believe i've got 122 somewhere in that vid...
What kind of Amtrak was this? Theres NO WAY It's the CoastStarlight.
Wonder why the nose is dented?
The gates heard the horn
IDK lol. Just thought it would be most appropriate.
I agree with you on that one lol!!!!
Nice angle from the crossing. I've heard much better K5LA's than this.
Thank you!
