I live in North Highlands and got to catch a UP train hauling a few MARC SC-44s and SEPTA ACS-64s as they headed toward the east coast as I was driving my mother around one day a couple years ago. I wish I could have taken pictures.
That is probably one of the best drone shots of a train I’ve ever seen. Well done! I loved hearing the birds and the train horn. What type of drone do you use? Is the audio recording from the drone?

Very nice scenery
I saw 1408 on northbound train #500 on halloween this year. behind 1400
Awesome footage!!
Thanks!
great footage! Very smooth motions. Love the train
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Kinda wish they just ordered a new and fresh 1402 to replace the old 1402... (or they could renumber 1408 to 1402)

Thank you very Chris! I use a DJI Mavic 2 Pro and I record audio separately using a Zoom H1n portable digital audio recorder.
Excellent video!
Thank you! It was a fluke that I caught this. Heard the radio traffic from the dispatcher and though I'd see what was "special".
So they purchase up to 9 units for Cascades service numbered 1400-1408
Nope, they purchased 8. 1402 was destroyed in the 501 wreck, and this is the replacement paid for by Amtrak.
Shame that this new unit will never get to lead a Talgo 6 Set in service...
