When I was a kid I lived on Indiana Street about 3-houses from Santa Ana St. in Anaheim (1980s). I saw the UP train go by all the time but just took it for granted. Now I'm a new Railfan and I'm finally realizing how awesome that experience was..... Anyone have information about this line? Where does it go to? Is it just a short spur? What is the schedule? I would love to go back to my neighborhood and check it out.
It’s a branch line serving the Santa Ana and Anaheim area, with connections to the national system at CP College in Anaheim. It also connects to the Huntington Beach Branch in Stanton, which travels all the way down to Reliable Lumber in Huntington Beach. The vast majority of trackage is ex-SP and/or ex-Pacific Electric.
The local runs every weekday, Monday-Friday in morning hours, (7:30am-1pm around this time range) and goes in the Anaheim Hills areas I think every Monday Wednesday and Friday, goes to Santa Ana via the Orange sub every Monday and Wednesday, and goes to Stanton and Huntington Beach every Tuesday and Thursday.
@@GarrettsTrains95 I’m pretty sure it only runs to Huntington Beach on Tuesdays and Thursdays on an as-needed basis. If not, I know it for sure only serves Reliable Lumber on an as-needed basis.
Excellent video! Thanks for posting it!!!

Can you get a video of the new signals that replace did the wigwag
what was the other street name there at Lemon ST.
The cross street is Santa Ana St. The railroad follows it for about a mile.
What days or services does this local run?

Nice looking engines! Hate when they are spray painted with graffiti.
