Very cool! This is now a piece of history, as the South San Francisco station has recently been redone, and has a nice wide island platform. An underpass is being built too to access the platform - crossing the southbound track will no longer be needed.
Amazing catch with Cab Car 120! It's super rare for them to ever put that one on the point! And it and the also considerably rare 119 certainly have unique horns! And great bells too!
The engineer drives from the cabcar. A cabcar is basically a passenger car with a driver compartment. It's usually called a Cab Control Car, but railroads call it cabcar for short. Though the cabcar doesn't do any power, it actually sends a signal to the locomotive on the other end when the engineer makes a change in the controls. So when you see a train that looks like it's going backwards, the engineer is in the cabcar.

Nice. I see JPBX extended their Baby Bullet trains from 5 to 6 cars with the new cars they got from Metrolink.
Is that a K series Nathan horn on 120?
Nice horns and catches, especially those UP GPs!
Great catches Kerry!!!
Not to brag but I have seen UP 1068 on a power move driving on the mainline.
Wow great train
JEEZ you were a little close to that express at 2:37 😓
Pardon me, a lot of those express trains! Remember safety first.
Express Coming Through moment
Good video!
Nice video :O
Yay im from South city
It just looks weird for the locomotive to be pushing the train from behind. How does the engineer see the track clearance signals?

Like a locomotive, cabcars have lights, bell, and horns.
To be honest, this doesn't look like a train station to me.
The one further down is underneath a freeway maze, it's even worse.
Lol 22nd Street got put in the wrong location like why under a freeway when if a earthquake happens the rubble will block the whole track
You do realize that AWVR isn't a real railway. It's from a movie.
Puffin Vlogs Yes, I know that... I'm a fan of the movie.
it's also real
