  • During certain times of year when there are a lot of travelers, Amtrak runs extra long Pacific Surfliner trains. In this video, we will take a look at several extra long Surfliner trains during the busy Thanksgiving and summer travel seasons. Chargers, P42s and F59PHI locomotives all work together to get travelers to their destinations on time.

    I read the title as "So long Surfliners" at first. I thought the Surfliners were going away!
    I like the catches of a P42 at one end and an SC44 at the other. I just saw the missouri River runner with a B23-8WH at the other end a few days ago (may 2019)!
    0:50 nice catch of the entire train in Surfliner colors!
    2:30 The old F59PHI at one end and the new SC44 at the other!
    3:17 I like that catch where the last three cars are in Amtrak California colors, with a matching Dash 8!
    3:47 nice catch of three private cars on a horizon set! The horn on that F59PHI is unsual!
    5:02 that's a lot of private cars!
    7:44 nice catch of a prive car in front of the rear loco!

      Cab Cars can't pull anything. They're actually being pushed by the engine. They find it more ethical to put 2 engines on opposite ends instead of double-heading, so the Cab Cars get no time to shine.
