A Day at Pinole captures the railroading action along the Union Pacific Martinez Subdivision in Pinole, California.
Pinole is probably not the first name that comes to mind when thinking of railroading hot spots. There are no yards here. No junctions. Still, with the BNSF Stockton Subdivision hugging the hills overlooking the bay, and Union Pacific's Martinez Subdivision on the shore, there is never too long a wait for the next train.
UP's double-track Martinez Subdivision is part of the old Southern Pacific Cal-P line. The BNSF Stockton Subdivision carries only freight in this area, a vital link between BNSF's yard in Richmond and the UP crossing in Stockton.
Amtrak keeps the UP line's rails shiny. Eastbound and westbound Amtrak California Capitol Corridor trains run along the bay all day long. On weekdays the line hosts 32 daily Capitol Corridor trains and 8 San Joaquins. In addition, two of Amtrak's long-distance trains use this line, the California Zephyr and the Coast Starlight.
On September 23, 2008, TSG Multimedia's cameras filmed every train that came through Pinole from mid-morning until late in the afternoon, including 16 Capitols and 5 San Joaquins! We also caught the California Zephyr twice, once as eastbound train 6, just beginning its cross-country run to Chicago, and again as westbound train 5.
Several Union Pacific freight trains also came through Pinole while we were there, as well as a BNSF local and BNSF's hotshot "Z" train!

Use to fish out there all the time when I was younger, you get to see the trains closeup
Excellent Show!
THANK YOU
I have seen engines pushing Amtrak consists on the Northeast Corridor and I can surmise it to be a fairly common practice. I would like to translate representative examples of such trains to my future N-scale layout. Which types of Amtrak trains would be in a push-pull configuration and what determines this?
What a great spot to watch trains! Really enjoyed the quiet moments when you could hear the waves lapping up against the shore. Quite a variety of trains too, thanks John!
I used to live in Pinole, lotsa train action there.
