15:07 - I used to come to this crossing (San Mateo Ave) all the time in K and 1st grade to watch trains with my dad in 2007/2008 back when the street still crossed the tracks diagonally, but the crossing adjacent to that (San Bruno Ave) was a dangerous interaction with the RR crossing between two traffic lights and a list of crashes occurred there because of confusion caused by that intersection. In the early 2010s, the tracks were raised about 13 feet above the roads in San Bruno as part of a grade separation project to remove those crossings, so this shot is impossible to get anymore
We had two! That was the original one, then it moved to the other side of the station during construction of a pedestrian tunnel, then it was removed once the tunnel was complete
This was back when Amtrak ran these trains right? Before TASI? I assume it still pays like a slot machine. Talk about a contract everyone would love for them to get back. 😁
Yes, this was during the Amtrak era, there was lots of $$ to be made at that time, that’s for sure. Now the pay is greater, jobs aren’t as lucrative, some are and some aren’t, though I hear from friends still working there about some of the choice assignments being lucrative. If I didn’t have to leave Amtrak due to my work injury, I probably would have just stood with Amtrak and work out of Oakland where I started. Yes, would be nice to see Amtrak get it back. I think they (JPB) were shortsighted when they retained TASI, but the worker bees don’t call those shots.
If I were the conductor on the train, I would’ve announced the upcoming stop, and at Redwood City and Menlo Park stations, I would’ve announced that after Menlo Park, the train would go to Mountain View, then Lawrence, then Santa Clara, and then make all local stops to Gilroy except for College Park. I would’ve announced that if passengers were going to a station that 276 wouldn’t stop at, there was a train right behind us that they could transfer to at Redwood City or Menlo Park.
6:55 and 56:04 are closed Stations! I loved this unique ride!
Update, I believe Atherton is now closed as well, just not in this video
@@railsetc yes
33:20 this one too but only closed temporarily due to the rebuild and relocation

This is really cool. Forgot how some of the stations used to look.
Thanks for putting this up!!!!
Thanks, I have about 15hrs of video still to encode and edit, need another camcorder to transfer everything.
And, BTW, the old double pot still enjoys protecting our driveway every morning and night!
@@bryce2680 Nice, I would have put it out in my front yard had I kept it, but it’s in a good home.
Hope you’ve been well.

52:24 wow I didn’t know that Palo Alto had a pedistrian crossing
Same here
They probably got rid of it after a pedestrian tunnel was added

@@davidnissim589do you know what bell they had?
@@sixfifty_sebb I don't really remember, I was just a kid when the second one got removed
This was a different type of ride. Interesting.
I wish the GoPros in 4K were around 16yrs ago, really could have gotten some unique perspectives.
Nice view. Are you a train operator?
@@ethantlyu Retired Amtrak Engineer.
There's something different, are these stations cleaner?
How did you do this? Did you sit with the engineer?
Yup, I sat with myself since I was the engineer.
Thumbs up much enjoyed

That's f40 913 horn change it sounded like a K2 but it's a P2
I just wish they were the original K5’s.
Sounds like 913s old P2
... cool ...

Engineers aren’t responsible for announcements, that’s the conductors job.
@@straightto8 how come I didn’t hear any announcements from the conductor?
@@dannyluo2077 Because the engineers don’t make announcements as I said, engineer runs the engine.
@@straightto8 in the engine, can you hear the conductor’s announcements?
@@dannyluo2077 Nope, but in the cab control car, yes.
this is a 4k version its done! ruclips.net/video/PitTCAVHleo/видео.html
What was leading your train?
I have to see if it’s in my notes.
@Rock The Gamer Ok, I was going to say 912, lol.
Can’t remember back 17yrs, gettin old. :-)
@@straightto8 Sounds like 910s old horn.
@@ThisisGabe120 It might have been, if I can find my old log book I’d know for sure.
No this is more likely to be 913
